Premier League strugglers Swansea have reportedly agreed a deal with Championship club Aston Villa to swap Neil Taylor with Jordan Ayew.





According to ​Gianluca Di Marzio of Calciomercato, the rare player exchange is set to be completed before the close of the transfer window.​





Ayew, the brother of West Ham's Andre, signed for Villa on a five-year deal in 2015 for a reported £10m.

Full-back Taylor meanwhile, arrived at Swansea on a free transfer from Conference side Wrexham in 2010, and has since made 150 appearances.





The Wales international has found himself on the fringes in recent weeks, unable to establish himself as a regular starter.





And the recent signing of left-back Martin Olsson appears to have signalled the end of his career with the Swans.

New coach Paul Clement is clearly keen to strengthen in attack, despite Swansea's excessively porous defence.





Ayew has scored twice and assisted four times in 21 Championship games for Villa so far this season.

The Ghanaian winger will be hoping to replicate the success his brother experienced at the Liberty Stadium should the deal be confirmed.





Former Villa boss Tim Sherwood claimed that Ayew was "perfectly suited to the Premier League" on his arrival two years ago, so Swansea fans will be hopeful that his words ring true.
