Jordan Ayew "very annoyed" at Lorient

Lorient striker Jordan Ayew admits that he is "very annoyed" with the club after they asked Aston Villa to increase their bid for the Ghana international.

Jordan Ayew has said that he is "very annoyed" that Lorient have upped their asking price for the striker.

The Ghana international has been in talks with Aston Villa over a move to the Premier League, but the French side are yet to confirm that they have accepted the bid, reported to be in the region of £9m.

The 23-year-old told L'Equipe: "It is incomprehensible. I was told that I could leave for €12m, but now they are asking for £10m, with two million in bonuses, which makes up about €17m. What the hell!

"This meeting finished very badly. I am really very annoyed, but it is incredible what they are doing to me. They were telling me about how much Amavi was bought for by Aston Villa, but I am not Amavi. We are two different players who have two different situations. They are basically saying that English clubs can only pay more because they have money.

"It is finished for me, they bought me for €5m and they are blocking me. I am in Birmingham, I am on my way to Aston Villa. Nothing will change my decision. It is the right moment. My wife speaks English. In any case I am no longer going to training. It is finished for me."

Ayew, whose brother Andre Ayew joined Swansea City earlier this summer, scored 13 goals in 33 appearances for Lorient last season.
