Ghanaian international centre-forward Jordan Ayew, 34, has left Ghana and is travelling to England to finalize a transfer to a club in Sheffield, which will be either Sheffield United or Sheffield Wednesday. It has also been stated that Ayew is not going to Blackburn Rovers and that a move to Southampton is not happening. While links to APOEL Nicosia were reportedly true, the contact was not substantial as Ayew wished to play in one of Europe's bigger leagues. Ayew has been without a club since the World Cup, and the transfer will be confirmed once the player arrives and signs. It has also been suggested that Ayew might decline a call-up for Ghana's upcoming games to better integrate with his new team, a decision that is expected in the next couple of days and may depend on his new club's view. He has 122 caps and 33 goals for Ghana. His current Transfermarkt market value is €1.00m.
