# Nottingham Forest: Reds showing an ‘interest’ in Andre Ayew

**[Nottingham Forest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/nottingham-forest-news/) are showing a late ‘interest’ in forward Andre Ayew ahead of a potential return to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), according to journalist [Toby Cudworth](https://twitter.com/Toby_Cudworth).**

### The Lowdown: Ayew profiled

The Ghana international made the move to Qatar to join Al Sadd from Swansea City back in [2021](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andre-ayew/transfers/spieler/45403), but having not put pen to paper on an extension, has recently been released and is now a free agent roaming the market to find his next destination.

The 33-year-old veteran has bags of experience in the top flight having previously carried out [spells](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andre-ayew/transfers/spieler/45403) at West Ham United and the Welsh outfit, and there’s a chance that he could be staging a comeback, with five clubs now firmly in the race for his signature.

### The Latest: Nottingham Forest eyeing Ayew

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/toby_cudworth/status/1620133145491439616?s=46&t=Nnf_3GzseoBN1zG-_-Wkhg), Cudworth confirmed that Forest, alongside several other of their competitors, are all considering making a late approach for Ayew before tonight’s deadline.

*“West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton, Everton and Nottingham Forest have shown an interest in free agent Andre Ayew.*

*“The 33-year-old has lots of PL experience & is a potential late window option after leaving Al Sadd.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done…

Ayew has been [described](https://twitter.com/buntingfootball/status/1179518765333123079?s=46&t=HRzEWMhqGMi4bMi_CBR6gA) as a player who ‘glides past opponents’ by journalist [Josh Bunting](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball), and he would be an extremely useful acquisition for Forest.

The Seclin native scored a remarkable 22 goals and provided three assists in 39 appearances for Al Sadd and is an extremely versatile player, having operated in an incredible nine different positions throughout his career ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andre-ayew/leistungsdaten/spieler/45403)).

Ayew is also the [captain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_national_football_team) of Ghana’s national team so he would add plenty of leadership qualities and pedigree to Steve Cooper’s squad, making him the perfect candidate to put pen to paper at The City Ground.
