Andre Ayew: Ghana Captain Leaves Qatar Champions, Al Sadd

The captain of the Ghana football team, Andre Ayew, has left Qatar Stars League champions Al Sadd SC.

The 33-year-old joined the Bosses in July 2021 on a two-year deal after leaving English Championship side Swansea City.

The former West Ham United star scored three goals for Al Sadd this season and left the club as the second on the club’s top scorers list.

the club wrote on Twitter.

Ayew had joined the club as a free agent following the expiry of his three-year contract with Swansea City.

He is now rumored to be on his way to his former club, French Ligue 1 giants Olympique Marseille.

Ayew came through the club academy and was farmed out to French clubs Lorient and Arles Avignon before breaking into the first team in 2010/11.

He became a key figure at Merseille in 2010 after being impressed at the Africa Cup of Nations and the Fifa World Cup.

He finished the 2010/2011 campaign as a regular starter for Marseille for the first time in his career, with his goal tally of 11 enough to earn him the 2011 BBC African footballer of the Year award.

He departed Marseille in 2015 and which ended a 28-year association that his family have with the club.

His father Abedi Pele signed for Marseille in 1987 and went on to be part of their Champions League-winning team in 1993.

Younger brother Jordan also started his career at the State Velodrome but has since joined Lorient, making the switch in July 2014.
