André Ayew Linked with Tottenham Move Amid Contract Uncertainty
André Ayew, a vital part of Olympique de Marseille’s squad, could be set for a January departure as his contract nears its June 2015 expiration. The Ghanaian international, currently with the Black Stars for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, has attracted interest from several clubs—most notably Tottenham Hotspur.
According to 10Sport, Spurs have been in discussions with Ayew’s camp for several weeks. The Premier League side reportedly sees him as a priority signing, and the player is said to be interested in a move to England.
Given that Marseille risks losing him for free in the summer, a winter transfer would allow the club to recoup some value. If the deal materializes, Ayew could follow in the footsteps of other Ligue 1 stars who have transitioned to the Premier League.
As things stand, the next few weeks will be critical in determining whether the versatile midfielder finishes the season at the Vélodrome or makes a move across the Channel.
