The Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has returned to French football, securing a deal with Ligue 1 side Le Havre, as reported by multiple sources according to Ghana Web.
The 33-year-old Ghanian international has been without a club after leaving English Premier League side Nottingham Forest at the end of the previous season. Now he is is set to ink a contract as a free agent that will tie him to the Le Havre until the end of 2023/24 season. According to Ghana Web the official announcement of his transfer is shortly.
The experienced attacking midfielder is anticipated to bring his wealth of knowledge to Le Havre and contribute to their efforts to maintain their position in the top-flight French league. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1,8 million. Ayew’s previous stint in Ligue 1 with Olympique Marseille adds an extra layer of expertise to his new team.
Ayew’s return to Ligue 1 is generating significant buzz, especially among Black Stars fans, as the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast looms just over a month away. The timing of Ayew’s move holds particular importance as he has been recently recalled to the Black Stars squad in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana is set to face Madagascar and the Comoros Islands in the upcoming matches, and Ayew’s return to competitive action will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike. His presence adds a seasoned touch to the team, potentially boosting Ghana’s prospects in the qualifiers.
