Andre 'Dede' Ayew made a remarkable return to Ligue 1 outfit Le Havre after initially spending six months at the club last season.
His return to France (although on a one-year deal) marks his fourth stint in French football, previously playing for Marseille, Lorient, and Le Havre.
Ayew, who is well-equipped with French culture and football, was born on December 17, 1989, and hails from Seclin (a commune in the arrondissement of Lille).
The familiar sight of numerous French fans trooping to games, coupled with the emphasis the indigenous people place on football, is something Dede is too well aware of.
