Ghanaian forward Andre Dede Ayew has been appointed the vice-captain of English Championship side Swansea City.
Midfielder Matt Grimes was confirmed as Swans skipper in the summer, and Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper has now revealed Ayew is his deputy, praising the Ghanaian’s positive influence on the dressing room.
And, while keen to point out there are no shortage of experienced heads offering leadership in a young squad, Cooper praised the impact Ayew has made since returning from African Cup of Nations duty late in the summer.
