Newcastle make Andre Ayew bumper offer to beat Liverpool, Everton and Swansea to Ghana star

English side Newcastle are ready to offer Marseille forward Andre Ayew a lucrative four year contract to move to Tyneside in a bid to prevent rivals Liverpool, Everton and Swansea from signing the talented star.

Ghana international Ayew, 25, is out of contract and a free agent this summer and Newcastle have made a firm approach to his representatives.

Ayew is keen on a move to the Premier League with Liverpool, Everton and Swansea also looking at developments.

Roma, Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli are also interested but he is likely to move to England.

Ayew was heavily linked with a move to Queens Park Rangers in January before owner Tony Fernandes vetoed the deal , another factor behind Harry Redknapp’s departure.
