Ghanaian forward André Ayew has completed a free transfer to Dutch Eredivisie side NAC Breda, signing a contract that runs until the end of the season with an option for a one-year extension.
The 36-year-old has been without a club since leaving French outfit Le Havre in August but arrives with vast experience at the highest level, having featured for clubs such as Olympique Marseille, Swansea City and West Ham United, as well as earning 120 caps for the Ghana national team.
Ayew, who has been training in Ghana to maintain his fitness, is keen to play a key role in NAC Breda’s battle to avoid relegation.
“I’m someone who really enjoys challenges, both personally and as part of a team at NAC,” Ayew said. “I want to do everything I can to help the club and my teammates.”
He stressed the importance of mindset as the season enters a crucial phase, adding, “The mental aspect is perhaps the most important in this situation, and together with our supporters, we must fight this battle head-on in the second half of the season.”
NAC Breda Technical Director Peter Maas expressed confidence in the veteran forward’s impact, describing him as a valuable addition to the squad.
“André is eager to help NAC in their fight for survival. He’s a true sportsman who takes good care of himself, and we believe that with his experience and specific qualities, he can be of real value to the team right now,” Maas said.
