The ex-Gunners star has heaped praise on the Ghana international who is enjoying a beautiful form that has seen him net three times in the EPL. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has touted Swansea�s Andre Ayew as the signing of the summer following the 25-year-old�s early exploits in the English Premier League. The deputy Ghana captain joined the Welsh side from French outfit Marseille in June on a four-year deal. With three goals and an assist to his name in four matches, Ayew has proved himself as one of the season�s best performers early in the campaign, earning rave reviews from several quarters. �It is great to see Stoke City get players like Xherdan Shaqiri, but I think the signing of the summer could be Swansea�s Andre Ayew,� Henry wrote in a column for The Sun. �They got him on a free from Marseille and he is really good. �He will score goals, is not a typical winger, will get into the box, and is lethal in the air even though he is not tall.� Ayew scored on his competitive debut in Swansea�s opening game of the season as the Jacks held Chelsea to a 2-2 stalemate at Stamford Bridge. He followed up with a goal against Newcastle United, before scoring and providing an assist as his side came from behind to defeat Manchester United 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium on August 30. For his part, Henry, an erstwhile Fifa World Cup winner with France in 1998, is Arsenal�s all-time top scorer with 228 goals, for which 175 came in the Premier League. He also ended his career as France�s all-time top scorer with 51 goals.
