Swansea superstar Andre Ayew is one of the most fouled players in the Premier League.

He has been pulled up for a foul on the Belgian 18 times in his six league appearances in 2015-16, an average of 3.2 per game.

Only West Ham's Mark Noble has been subject to more fouling than Andre this season.

Noble is currently the most fouled, with referees blowing up for 19 fouls on him this season (3.2 per game).

Aston Villa's Idrissa Gueye also has also been fouled at a ratio of three per game, 12 times in total, while Alexis Sanchez has suffered 17 so far this season (2.8 per game).

Alexis Sanchez has suffered 17 fouls so far this season (2.8 per game), Eden Hazard has suffered 16 (2.7 per game), while Ross Barkley and Sadio Mane have both suffered 15 fouls each at a ratio of 2.5 per match.

Attacking midfielders are perhaps unsurprisingly the ones who are usually on the receiving end of the most fouls.

Eden Hazard topped the list last season, with players being judged to have fouled him 113 times at an average of three times per match.

Raheem Sterling was second with 94 fouls against him, followed by Sadio Mane (76), Alexis Sanchez (72), Santi Cazorla (61) and Connor Wickham (61).

These figures are for fouls awarded by a referee and do not include fouls that have not been given.
