Jordan Ayew will arrive for the Black Stars crucial 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Congo brimming with confidence after scoring in his second successive game for Swansea.
The Ghana international netted as Swansea picked up their first Premier League win of the campaign with a deserved victory over a disappointing Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park.
Ayew sealed victory with a neat effort after Tammy Abraham put the away side ahead just before half-time with a low finish after beating Martin Kelly to Leroy Fer's cross.
Kelly then tamely headed Palace's first effort on target from a corner after the break, before his mistake let Swansea in for their second.
The defender was robbed on the halfway line by Kyle Naughton, whose through ball was finished off by Jordan Ayew. The goal is his second for the Welsh club following his first in midweek.
