What is it about the relationship between Steve Cooper and Andre Ayew that works? If you listen to the new Nottingham Forest signing, it is down to the head coach putting him through his paces in the cold and wet.
Cooper has always pushed Ayew, according to the forward. That's how he got the best out of him at Swansea City, by "demanding" even more from him.
It was a tactic which yielded 35 goals in 84 appearances when the pair worked together in south Wales. And having signed for the Reds last week as a free agent, after leaving Al Sadd, Ayew is confident it can bear fruit again.
