Andre Ayew: Ghana Captain Reaches New Ligue 1 Milestone With Strike Against Clermont Foot

• Andre Ayew was on target for Le Havre in Ligue 1 on Sunday
• The Ghana captain has reached a new milestone in France
• Ayew will lead the Black Stars in the friendly against Nigeria

Andre Ayew's resurgence in the French Ligue 1 continued as he netted his third goal of the season for Le Havre in the defeat to Clermont Foot.

The 34-year-old marked a half-a-century of goals in the French topflight after netting the equaliser in the 2-1 loss at the Stade Gabriel Montpied.

Ayew, who returned to France in December, after almost seven months without a club is leading Le Havre's survival hopes.

His brace against Lorient in January helped Le Havre to an important point before adding his third of the campaign on Sunday.

In his first stint in France, the Black Stars captain netted 47 times, three while on loan at FC Lorient with 44 strikes in the shirt of Marseille, per Transfermarkt.

The veteran forward's return to form is a huge boost for the Black Stars after a disastrous Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Ivory Coast, where Ghana exited at the group stage.

Ayew will lead the team once again in March's international break as the Black Stars engage fierce rivals Nigeria and the Cranes of Uganda in friendlies, as reported by Ghana Soccernet.
