Andre Ayew returns to France Ligue 1

Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has made a sensational return to French football, signing for Ligue 1 side Le Havre.

The 33-year-old attacking midfielder was presented to the Stade Oceane crowd ahead of Le Havre’s match against AS Monaco, marking his first appearance in the French top flight since leaving Olympique Marseille in 2015.

Ayew is set to extend his contract with the club until the conclusion of the 2023/24 season.

He will bring a wealth of experience to the squad, having played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Swansea City, West Ham, Fenerbahce, and Al Sadd.

The official announcement is expected later today after the finalization of the deal on Saturday.

This news is particularly significant for Black Stars fans, given the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, just over a month away.

Additionally, Ayew’s return to the Black Stars for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and the Comoros Island next week has been confirmed.

Le Havre fans are thrilled to see Ayew don the club’s colours, and they will be eagerly anticipating his debut. The former Marseille star is set to compete with Lille OSC loanee Mohamed Bayo for a starting spot in the team.

With Ayew’s expertise and leadership, Le Havre will look to consolidate their position in Ligue 1 and potentially mount a challenge for European places.
