Africa slur riles Ayew

-

ANDRE AYEW has hit back at disgraced former West Ham head of recruitmen­t Tony Henry.

Henry was sacked by the Hammers after a leaked emailed revealed that he had told agents the club “don’t want any more Africans because they cause mayhem”.

Ghanaian Ayew, who joined Swansea for a club record £18million on transfer deadline day, said: “African players are like any human being in the world – everyone is different.

“Maybe an African player can be difficult, but maybe a French or English player can be difficult too. Everyone has their own character.”
