Former club president Pape Diouf has criticised current Olympique Marseille boss Vincent Labrune for allowing Ghana’s Andre Ayew to leave the French side last year.

The Black Stars attacker saw out his contract with OM in 2015 and left for Premier League club Swansea City, where he enjoyed a fine 2015/16 campaign, scoring 12 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions.

Ayew has been linked with a move away from the Liberty Stadium, including an offer from Sunderland in the January transfer window earlier this year, but new Swans coach Francesco Guidolin has declared that he wants the player to stay at the club.

Diouf argues that the Ligue 1 club lost Ayew and former leading striker Andre-Pierre Gignac (who left for Tigres UANL in Mexico), due to poor planning.

"The sales of Andre Ayew and Andre-Pierre Gignac were poorly managed by the management of Olympique Marseille," Diouf is quoted on Tribal Football.

"You do not propose an extension in the last year of the contract, but about two years before his term ends."
