Ghana captain Andre Ayew has rejoined Ligue 1 side Le Havre AC after being without a club since his contract with the French outfit expired last season.

The 34-year-old forward, who has previously played for clubs like Olympique de Marseille, Swansea City, West Ham United, and Nottingham Forest, had a short stint with Le Havre last season.

Ayew made a great impact, scoring five goals in 19 Ligue 1 appearances, helping the club retain their top-flight status. Despite his contributions, Le Havre did not initially extend his contract.

However, with the team struggling to score - only netting seven goals this season - Le Havre decided to bring Ayew back.

The veteran forward had expressed his desire to stay at the club, and he has now signed a deal that will keep him at Le Havre until the end of the season.

Ayew will hope to play a pivotal role in Le Havre’s campaign, particularly as the club struggles in front of goal. By delivering strong performances when called upon, he may not only boost the team's fortunes but also reignite his chances of returning to the Black Stars.

His recent absence from the national team has sparked discussions about his future with Ghana, and impressive form at the club level could be key to earning a recall for upcoming international fixtures.
