<p><em>“It (Ayew’s goal) was really important in the game because we needed attacking players to do something to make a difference. He did that. He had a good impact in the game, scored, got the right amount of minutes and that’s something we would have written if we could have planned it,” </em>Cooper said.</p>

<p>“He’s obviously an experienced player and he’ll be determined to do well for us now in the Premier League. He was so keen to come here and we look forward to involving him and we’re going to need him alongside everyone else as well.”</p>

<p>Ayew will now be aiming for his first Premier League start when Leicester host Aston Villa on Sunday. </p>
