Nottingham Forest officially signs 33-year-old free agent Ayew until the end of the season


Nottingham Forest officially announced today that it has officially signed a short-term contract with 33-year-old free agent Andre Ayew. The two parties have reached a cooperation agreement until the end of this season.


For the second time in his career, he played again in the Premier League and reunited with the former coach


Ayew has experienced a 16-year football career. He was once a product of the Ligue 1 Marseille youth training camp. After that, he played for the club for 8 seasons, during which time he was also loaned to Lorient and Arles. Until 2015, he transferred to the British Championship Swansea City and went to England to play. However, he switched to the Premier League West Ham United after playing for one season. During the two seasons, he played more than 40 Premier League games.


However, after leaving West Ham United, Ayew chose to return to Swansea City to play for 3 seasons, played 100 games and contributed 31 goals. After joining the Qatar Football League Doha Dam in 2021, he will leave the team this season and become a free agent. He also contributed 1 goal in 3 games on behalf of the Ghana national team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

It is worth noting that the current coach of Nottingham Forest where Ayew joined is Steve Cooper , the coach of Swansea City when he played for Swansea City.


Since the Ghana international is a free agent, Nottingham Forest can only introduce him after the winter transfer window closes. Ayew is the club's 30th player since the end of last season.


In addition, Everton also joined the competition earlier, but the relationship between Ayew and coach Cooper has also become a solid cornerstone for him to join Nottingham Forest.

The 33-year-old striker said after officially completing the transfer as a free agent today that Cooper knows him very well, is a unique coach and friend to him, and is also someone he admires. Both internally and externally can cooperate seamlessly. In the end, Ayew added, "I will do my best to bring changes to the team, and I am ready to go all out to ensure that I stay in the Premier League this season."


According to Ayew's contract, he will play for Nottingham Forest until the end of the season. As for whether the contract will be renewed, it is still necessary to observe Ayew's performance on the court. Nottingham Forest currently ranks 13th in the Premier League standings with a record of 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses and remains in the relegation zone.
