Andre Ayew leads Ghanaian scorers in French Ligue 1

Andre Ayew, the captain of Ghana’s national team, has showcased his striking abilities in the French Ligue 1 this season, emerging as Ghana’s leading scorer with five goals.

The 35-year-old achieved this remarkable feat in just 17 appearances since joining Le Havre in November 2023.

Among Ghanaian players competing in the French league this season, Ayew stands out as the top scorer, with Ernest Nuamah of Lyon being the only other Ghanaian to score, notching three goals.

Ayew’s most recent goal came during Le Havre’s thrilling 3-1 victory over Strasbourg in a Ligue 1 encounter on Saturday afternoon, further solidifying his scoring prowess.

This goal adds to his impressive scoring record, which includes memorable strikes against Lorient and Clermont Foot earlier in the season, including a remarkable overhead kick.

Following a brief goal drought, Ayew reignited his scoring form with crucial goals against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in an exhilarating 3-3 draw and another goal against Strasbourg.

Ayew’s scoring prowess extends beyond the French league, with a total of six goals scored in all competitions.

As Ayew’s contract with Le Havre is nearing its expiration at the end of the season, his exceptional performances on the field position him as a strong contender for a contract extension.

With his remarkable form and significant contributions to the team, Ayew is poised to continue making strides in his football career.
