Andre Ayew says that his Swansea City teammate Bafetimbi Gomis is proving himself to be a complete striker with his recent goalscoring form.

Swansea City forward Andre Ayew has said that his strike partner Bafetimbi Gomis is proving that he is one of the top strikers in the Premier League with his recent form.

Gomis has scored in nine of his last 10 top-flight games for the Welsh side, and was set up by Ayew for the winner in the 2-1 victory over Manchester United on Sunday.

Summer signing Ayew insists that the Frenchman has everything it takes to compete at the very top level after stepping up to replace Wilfried Bony in attack for the Swans.

"Bafe is a player I know very well. He is a complete striker," Ayew told the South Wales Evening Post. "He plays in the air, he keeps the ball, he goes behind the back, he is quick.

"He is a player who was underestimated for a while. He is a big striker and with the opportunity he has had since January, he is proving that he is one of the top strikers in the league."

Gomis has started the current season with a goal in each of his four appearances to date, while Ayew has added three strikes of his own.
