The 33-year-old penned a six-month deal with Nottingham Forest after rejecting options to join Everton.

Ayew, in his first interview since joining the club, explained why he chose Nottingham Forest over Everton and expressed his delight at joining the Premier League club.

André Ayew said: “It’s a great feeling to sign for Nottingham Forest.

“I know how big the club is and I know how much the club means to the city and the fanbase. It’s always been difficult whenever I’ve played against Forest and at The City Ground and I love the stadium.

“Steve Cooper is someone who knows me very well and knows how to work with me both on and off the pitch. We have a strong relationship, he’s a special coach and a special human being and someone who I really look up to.”

“I know what I can bring to the team, I’m ready to give my all and make sure that we are able to stay in the Premier League.”

Forest’s 29th signing since their return to the Premier League is the former Swansea and West Ham player.

Ayew spent two seasons with Swansea before joining West Ham for two years. In 89 Premier League games for both clubs, he scored 21 goals.

He’s spent the last year and a half playing in Qatar. Ayew had a very good scoring record for them, with 22 goals in 39 appearances. In his first season, Ayew won the domestic double.
