Andre Dede Ayew, Black Stars captain

Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, have enquired about the availability of Andre Ayew, according to multiple reports in the UK.

Tottenham have been dealt a huge blow with their captain and skipper, Harry Kane, set to miss the next six weeks through injury.

And Ayew, who has been brilliant for the Welsh-based side have scored 11 goals in 25 games this season and is said to have been targeted as ‘one of the players that could come in and add firepower upfront’.

And with 18 months left on the 30-year-old’s contract, Steve Cooper’s side may struggle to resist any serious advances having also entered their second year of parachute payments.

The Black Stars captain spent 18 months as a West Ham United player before being bought back by Swansea for a fee of £22 million.

Ayew has played most of his football as a left or central attacking midfield player and is not a like-for-like alternative to Kane.

He has been nominated for the Championship player of the month for December.
