According to a report from 90min, West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton, Everton and Nottingham Forest have all shown an interest in bringing Andre Ayew back to the Premier League.

The 33-year-old, who scored for Ghana against Portugal at the 2022 World Cup but also missed a crucial penalty against Uruguay, is a free agent after terminating his contract at Qatari side Al Sadd.

Ayew previously spent six years in England, in between two spells at Swansea was a relatively unsuccessful 18-month stint at West Ham. He also spent time at Turkish giants Fenerbahce before heading off to Qatar.

Big picture for Ayew

Ayew will certainly view a return to the Premier League as a step in the right direction and a chance to prove he can still cut it at the highest level. 

As the January transfer window draws to a close, a number of sides could do with his experience as they look to strengthen their attacking options and potentially stave off the threat of relegation.
