The versatile attacker has said that he is improving under the guidance of Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira.
Ghana international Jordan Ayew says he feels he is improving under Patrick Vieira despite adopting a new position, but that the fundamental principles of his game remain.
“He’s been really good to me,” Ayew told Premier League Productions. “I really enjoy working under him. I’m improving on and off the field.
“He speaks to me a lot, so that helps as a player. When you have the confidence of the coach, there’s nothing better.
“I want to thank him and the staff because they’ve been really good to me. The football club have been good to me: Steve Parish, Dougie [Freedman], Patrick, Kristian [Wilson], Osh [Roberts], Saïd [Aigoun], Shaun [Derry], Deano [Kiely] – they’ve all been good to me.
“I’m enjoying myself, I'm improving and I can't do much more.”
Ayew has adapted his game since Vieira’s arrival, but says he still strains every sinew for the 90 minutes.
“[Vieira] has come in and obviously had to adjust my style a bit, because I'm more of a No.9,” he explained. “But he told me that he wants me to play on the right and that I can do well there.
“I’m trying to do my best, trying to improve each day at the training ground. There’s more to come from me.
“I feel very fit. I try to look after myself as well, because it's an important thing to stay fit. What I’ve been doing for the past seven or eight years since coming to the Premier League is working for me, and I feel fitter and fitter each year.
“I make sure when I go home I have no regrets. Maybe I could have a bad game, but in terms of desire and passion I make sure I'm always at it. That’s what I try to do.”
