Originally hailing from France, Andre Ayew rose through the ranks and has plied his trade mostly in English football, whilst also becoming captain of his national team.

Andre Ayew is a French-born Ghanaian professional football player who is the captain of the Ghana national team.

The son of Abedi Pele, who was part of the iconic Marseille side which won the UEFA Champions League in 1992/93, Ayew started his own top-level career at Marseille, having had stints at 1860 Munich and Nania as a youngster.

Ayew had loan spells at Lorient and Arles-Avignon before moving to Swansea City permanently in 2015. After a season at Swansea, he enjoyed a season-and-a-half at West Ham United before moving back to the Swans.

The 2017/18 season saw Swansea relegated to the Championship and Ayew went on loan to Fenerbahce for the 2018/19 campaign. However, he subsequently returned to Swansea and scored regularly for them during the following two seasons.

In July 2021, Al Sadd SC of the Qatar Stars League signed Ayew on a free transfer, but he was released by them in February 2023 and returned to the Premier League with Nottingham Forest.

He made his 100th Premier League appearance while at Forest but left the club at the end of the 2022/23 season.
