Sunderland will continue their pursuit of Swansea City star man Andre Ayew this summer, with reports claiming the Black Cats are preparing a £10 million bid.

The fresh offer will surprise some Swans fans after Sam Allardyce was believed to have seen a bid of £10 million plus Fabio Borini knocked back in the January transfer window.

At the time, the Swans were in all sorts of trouble with their Premier League survival far from certain and their managerial position still vacant following the departure of Garry Monk.

But, now that they've secured another season in the top flight, it is believed that the South Wales club could be prepared to cash in on their top scorer, freeing up a chunk of the wage bill.

When quizzed about his future, Ayew said: "I think you should ask the chairman.

"I'm happy here. If I have to stay, fine. If I have to leave, I have to leave.

"What is important for me is that I keep doing my work, and in football the truth of today is not the truth of tomorrow. We'll see what's going to happen, we'll have a discussion and see the way forward.

"I've enjoyed the Premier League, I think it's the best league in the world. The intensity, the determination from every team. It's a league where you enjoy every game. Every game is difficult, you can never say you've won it before you've played it.

"I hope to stay in the Premier League if I leave, but I'm here at the moment at Swansea."

There are no suggestions that Ayew has been problematic this season, but he could be allowed to leave the club if the Swans receive what is deemed to be a fair offer.

A reduced offer of just £10 million is unlikely to be attractive but, now that Sunderland have avoided relegation, they could be in a position to come back with an improved bid.
