News about Andre Ayew

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).

In Le Havre's French Ligue 1, a veteran Premier League player was sent home just two minutes after arriving as a replacement in their match against Nantes. In the 67th minute, the 30-year-old forward received a red card for a reckless tackle that left the referee with no choice but to give him a red card. Following a spell without a club after leaving Nottingham Forest, Ayew had been keen to make a difference for his new club well before the November international break.

Russell Martin, Swansea City's manager, has 99 issues, but the pitch isn't one. It used to be that it was not. However, a rebuilt surface last year could result in free-flowing football and 700-plus passes per game, which Martin denies. Martin's most significant issue has been the free flow of goals into Swansea's net. Four children were at home to Birmingham, three others at Stoke and then Middlesbrough, with three of them at home.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AND SAMI MOKBEL: Nottingham Forest has reported the signing of Ghana legend Andre Ayew as Everton continued to fire red flags in the transfer market. During the closing stages of the January transfer window, Ayew was of concern to Everton, with sport director Kevin Thelwell conducting initial talks with the striker. On Wednesday, Sportsmail exclusively revealed that Ayew had flown into London with the intention of securing his return to the Premier League at either Goodison Park or the City Ground.

Ayew has also held talks with Everton sport director Kevin Thelwell, but the Ghanai legend has chosen Forest as his first destination. However, Ayew, who arrived in England on Wednesday night, has held positive talks with Forest today and wants to explore the Midlands. Lewis O'Brien's loan transfer to Blackburn is, however, dependent on him. If that doesn't happen, Steve Cooper has a difficult decision in deciding whether or not to go forward with the signing of Ayew, 33 years old, or pull the plug on the contract. At 3 p.m. today, the Premier League squad deadline is approaching.

EXCLUSIVE: Andre Ayew will travel to England's north to speak with Everton and Nottingham Forest as both clubs try to land the free agent striker. Following a sad January window that saw them no new recruits, the Toffees have been chastised by supporters.

Andre Ayew's return to the Premier League after settling his deal with Qatari club Al-Sadd, Nottingham Forest is keeping an eye on it. Everton has already expressed an interest in signing Ayew, because his position as a free agent guarantees that he will be signed outside the transfer window. However, it is not a foregone conclusion that he will join them, with at least one other club, Forest, keeping an eye on the situation.

Exclusive BY SAMI MOKBEL: Andre Ayew is expected to return to England in the next 24 hours after winning a £2.5 million golden handshake allowing him to return to the Premier League. However, there are no promises that the former Swansea and West Ham star will travel to Everton with rival top-flight clubs having expressed an interest. The Ayew-to-everton conversion is currently rated at 50/50. Following a botched transfer deadline day that saw them miss out on a number of goals as the relegation threatening club finished with no new signings during the January window, the Toffees are under fire from supporters.

On what promises to be a tumultuous transfer deadline for Everton, the team is keen to welcome several new faces to Goodison Park. The Toffees are monitoring several players as newly appointed Dyche looks to solidify his side's effort to prevent relegation from the Premier League, as seen on Sportsmail's Transfer Confidential Deadline Day special show with North East Football Correspondent Craig Hope and Chief Football Reporter Sami Mokbel. Everton and Southampton have all been offered £22 million for Rennes' winger Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Dyche's side is also keen on returning Andre Ayew to the English top flight.

SIMON JONES: Rennes' Kamaldeen Sulemana has received £22 million bids for Rennes' Kamaldeen Sulemana, with the Toffees also in talks to sign Andre Ayew on a free transfer. Sean Dyche, the current Toffees manager, is eager to end the club's poor start in front of goal by adding a forward in January, and the club is in talks with 33-year-old forward Ayew after he ended his deal with Qatari club Al Sadd. The Premier League teams face time in order to get the skilled striker registered before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, while Ayew's Ghana teammate Sulemana is likely to determine between Everton and Southampton on Tuesday.

Argentina and France met in one of the all-time great World Cup finals, with all of their peers competing to perform a masterpiece at the Lusail Stadium. For those 16 nations, the tournament has been off for a while. Those clubs that made it to the group stage returned home less than two weeks after playing only three matches. It was no surprise for some teams: they were never supposed to make the knockout rounds. For those people, it would have been a difficult pill to swallow. Sportsmail has taken a look back at the 16 teams that were cut from the competition field and rated how they did in the Middle East.

After losing to advance to the World Cup knock-out stage, Darwin Nunez has expressed an emotional apology to the Uruguayan people. Despite beating Ghana 2-0, Uruguay failed to qualify from Group H on goals scored, with South Korea beating Portugal to advance to the last 16 instead. Nunez has taken to social media to apologize for the team's early departure, which the 23-year-old says didn't deserve.'

Andre Ayew rushed from Ghana's 2-0 loss to Uruguay to the hospital after learning that his seven-year-old daughter had died. According to HLN, the 32-year-old Black Stars forward missed a penalty that would have put the African side in front on Friday - and his daughter collapsed in the emotion of the moment. Both Andre and his brother Jordan Ayew were recalled at halftime, but it is unknown if these two scenarios are related.

Federico Valverde was seen celebrating Ghana's first-half missed penalty in front of referee Daniel Siebert, with the Uruguayan midfielder avoiding suspension for the match during the World Cup group match. After Sergio Rochet had brought down Mohammed Kudus, Uruguay's players vehemently appealed against a penalty being awarded. Siebert incurred the fine after consulting with VAR, with Andre Ayew first found to have been offside in the build-up.

After Ghana suffered a group stage departure at the World Cup, Otto Addo has confirmed that he would resign as head coach. Ghana would have qualified to the last-16 with a point against Uruguay in their final Group H match. Giorgian De Arrascaeta scored twice in the first half to win by 2-0, with the players coming after Andre Ayew missed a penalty that would have given Ghana the lead.

Following South Korea's victory over Portugal on Friday evening, there was a dramatic conclusion to Uruguay's 2-0 victory over Ghana, which eventually saw both sides knocked out of the World Cup. Among the thrilling thrills and spills at the Al Janoub Stadium, there was everything - mistakes, missing penalties, VAR debate, tense combat, two fine goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta (left) and Ghana's Mohammed Kudus (second right). Edinson Cavani (second left) failed to make an impact and was suspended for angrily threatening referee Daniel Siebert late on, although Black Stars attacker Andre Ayew (right) was also struggling. See below as Sportsmail's Max Mathews assigns a score to both sets of players from the final Group H match at Al Janoub Stadium.

Andre Ayew, Ghana's captain, made a horrific mistake from the penalty spot that would have put the African nation ahead of their grudge match against Uruguay. When Ghana's team against the South American team in 2010, Ayew was the only player on the team to play. Luis Suarez was suspended for a infamous handball that denied Ghana a goal. Suarez, the captain of Uruguay's team, was presenter of the demonstrations against the penalty call after Mohammed Kudus was arrested by Sergio Rochet, and he was one of the protests against the call.

Derek Boateng, a former Ghana midfielder, swapped shirts with Luis Suarez years after his country's most popular handball at the 2010 World Cup. Suarez, a 39-year-old Boateng, who played 47 matches for Ghana between 2001 and 2013, has expressed sorrow for his misdeeds 12 years ago, saying he would do the same thing if the roles were reversed. In the last group stage games of the World Cup in Qatar, the two teams will clash again on Friday in a 'grudge match.'

In both teams' vital final group stage match at the Qatar World Cup, Ghana (left) faces Uruguay. Despite losing 3-2 against Portugal in their tournament opener, the African team bounced back to beat South Korea 3-2 on Monday to boost their hopes of qualifying for the last 16. Otto Addo's side needs a victory over Uruguay on Friday to ensure progression, but a draw could be enough, depending on Portugal's results against South Korea. Uruguay has failed at this tournament and currently sits last in Group H after a goalless draw with South Korea and a 2-0 loss to Portugal on Monday. Uruguay must win. And in the 2010 World Cup, Ghana's bitter quarter-final exit (right) - and others of Luis Suarez (inset right) - gives the country a chance not only to make the mistakes but also to exact revenge and eliminate the South American outfit. Sportsmail takes you through everything you need to hear about the Al-Janoub Stadium (inset left) shortly approaching.

Ghana's players arrived in style for their crucial World Cup match against South Korea by stepping off the team bus and playing drums. Following their opening loss, the Black Stars were hoping to play the right note against their Asian opponents at the Education City Stadium. And as they represented Ghana on the world's biggest football stage, they were seen marching into the arena, playing drums and singing proudly.

After reportedly suffering a rib fracture during preparation, Danilo Pereira is expected to miss Portugal's remaining group stage games. In Portugal's 3-2 victory over Ghana, the Paris Saint-Germain star was centre back, but reports in Portugal indicate he will not be involved in Fernando Santos' plans for the remainder of the group stage. It would be the 31-year-old's absence from Monday's match with Uruguay and then Portugal's last game against South Korea on Friday.

Bukari netted in the 89th minute in Ghana's 3-2 loss to Portugal on Thursday, and was preceded by Ronaldo's 'Siuuu' commemoration. When Bukari made his historic leap, Ronaldo was not on the track, but now the Ghanaian has spoken to dissatisfied supporters who have accused him of a lack of compassion.

Portugal emerged triumphant from a five-goal stalemate with Ghana in their opening World Cup match on Thursday. Following a stalemate in the first half, the two teams fought it out in a spectacular fashion after the interval, with five goals coming in less than 24 minutes. After being taken down in the box by Mohammed Salisu, who saw him become the first man to score at five World Cups, Cristiano Ronaldo came out with 25 minutes remaining, Ghana equalized eight minutes later. Joao Felix and Rafael Leao lasted just a few minutes to give Portugal a two-goal cushion, but Osman Bukari gave the Black Stars hope by pulling one back in the final minute of normal time.

Qatar's domestic football scene is pretty low-key, with even top-of-the-table fixtures in the country's Stars League attracting only a few thousand followers. And no one, the Spain and Barcelona icon who competed for and then coached the country's most competitive team, Al Sadd, did not spark an interest. Although Qataris are adoring the world's best leagues in England, Spain, and elsewhere, BeIN Sports is not concerned with local matches.
