Newcastle and Fulham battling for £13m-rated forward

Fulham, who are preparing for life in the top flight, have already seen a bid rejected of £8 million as the South Wales club value the player nearer to £13 million.

Newcastle are looking for a new striker to lead their line next season after struggling to find a consistent player in this position for much of the last campaign.

Ayew does not want to play in the Championship and is keen to remain in the Premier League. The report claims Swansea do expect to lose the player over the summer as part of their squad overhaul under new manager Graham Potter.
