Jurgen Klopp’s first transfer target as Liverpool manager is new Swansea City star Andre Ayew, according to the Mirror.

Ayew arrived at Swansea from Marseille in the summer as a free agent, and has excelled in the Premier League since day one. On day one in fact, he scored against reigning champions Chelsea and then scored on his home debut against Newcastle a week later. He’s also netted goals against Manchester United and Tottenham too.

Now after an outstanding three months in South Wales, Ayew has attracted the interest of new Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. Klopp was an admirer of the Ghanaian whilst he was Borussia Dortmund manager, and even had two bids rejected by Marseille for his services.

With Klopp now looking to build his own team at Merseyside, he’s looking at his long-term target, Ayew to start his rebuilding.

A lucrative bid will only allow Garry Monk to accept an offer for the 25-year-old though, but on the other hand, Liverpool do have the funds.

Ayew has been capped 66 times for Ghana and has proved to be a Champions League worthy performer in recent years.

Will we see Ayew join Liverpool in January? Or will he stay at Swansea and remain a crucial starting player at the Liberty Stadium? Let us know @ReadSwansea!
