Ghana and Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew is delighted with the restart of the Premier League which bounce back on June 17 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic and has returned without the fans.
Ayew who was in blistering form before the break is delighted with the return of competitive football.
“Football is my life; I grew up in football. It is the only thing I literally know how to do and the only thing that keeps me busy,” he said. “Not having football for two months, I was really sad, not depressed, but not too far from it,” he told Palace TV
“Things are moving slowly, there is football on TV, it is a good thing for me. I am really, really excited for the first game back of the season.
“Now we are resuming the season, but it’s like a new season basically because we’ve had maybe two, three weeks to train together, things change, I cannot explain it, but without fans it is not the same thing, we all know how important the fans are.”
Palace travel to the Vitality stadium to face Bournemouth on the restart of the English top-flight.
Ayew is expected to continue his blistering form before the coronavirus outbreak.
