Andre Ayew, captain of the Ghana national football team, the Black Stars, has signed a contract with Qatari side Al Sadd.

The 31-year-old has joined the 'King of Hearts' as a free agent after leaving EFLChampionship club Swansea City at the end of last season.

Having signed a two-year contract with an option to extend for another one year, he has been handed the No.24 jersey by the side, who are coached by former Barcelona and Spain midfielder Xavi Hernandez.

While with Al Sadd, Ayew's first Ghana assignment will be 2022 World Cup qualifying matches against Ethiopia and South Africa in September.
