Ayew's last stint in the English top flight league was with Swansea City in the Championship, where he finished as the club's top scorer to push them into the play-offs.

Everton hope to sign the forward after a difficult winter transfer window but will face competition from Nottingham Forest.

Forest manager, Steve Cooper has a good relationship with Ayew, having worked with the Ghanaian during his time at Swansea.

The Black Stars skipper, who also played for West Ham United in the Premier League, has been on the radar of Crystal Palace as well.

The former Marseille player is a free agent and can sign for any club even though the window is shut.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Black Stars captain, Ayew possibly heading to Spain to join former manager, Xavi at Barcelona after leaving Qatari giants, Al Sadd.

The 33-year-old and his club agreed to go their separate ways, with his contract with the Qatari champions terminated earlier this month by mutual agreement.

In a thank-you message on social media, the former Marseille midfielder showed gratitude to Xavi, who brought him to Al Sadd.
