Jordan Ayew has been in fine form since the English Premier League season started bagging two goals on his first four matches but his senior brother Andre Ayew who plays for Championship outfit Swansea City says his Junior brother is not much appreciated.

Speaking to the press ahead of their game against beleaguered Wolves, Roy Hodgson downplayed that assertion claiming he and the whole coaching staff regard Ayew in high esteem.

"I don’t know who he thinks doesn’t appreciate him enough. It would certainly not be a fair comment with regard to us here in terms of myself, the coaching staff and the players."

"We really appreciate him and have enormous respect for him, and we think ourselves lucky to have a player of his quality with us."

"That certainly doesn't apply to us. I feel quite comfortable saying that it has no relevance to how we feel about him at Crystal Palace, where he is very highly respected."

"We have a full respect for his talents, which are good ones. And that has shown, he is playing every game."

Crystal Palace are back at home in the Premier League this weekend as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles will welcome Nuno Espirito Santo's men to south London on Sunday as Palace look to bounce back from a 4-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in their last Premier League fixture.


Wolves will also be looking for a response though, having lost their last three games in a row in all competitions, after losing 1-0 at home against Portuguese side Braga in the Europa League on Thursday.
