Jordan Ayew's agent confirms that Aston Villa have bid for the striker and says he is hopeful that the Lorient man can fly to Birmingham tonight to discuss personal terms.

Jordan Ayew's agent has confirmed that Aston Villa have made an offer for the Lorient striker, and says he is hopeful that the player will be allowed to travel to Birmingham tonight to discuss personal terms.

Earlier today it was reported that Villa had had a £12m bid accepted for the 23-year-old Ghana international.

Ayew's representative Mark McKay has now confirmed the bid and says that the deal to bring his client to England is progressing quickly.

"Villa have made an offer for Jordan Ayew to Alex Hayes vice-president of Lorient," McKay told the Birmingham Mail. Things are moving quickly. We are hoping Jordan will be allowed to travel from Lorient to Birmingham tonight to discuss personal terms.

"Tim Sherwood is an admirer of Jordan and feels he could be a big success in the Premier League."

Ayew scored 15 goals for Lorient last season playing in a variety of roles in attack, and would reinforce Villa's frontline following the sale of Christian Benteke to Liverpool.
