After leaving Swansea, Andre Ayew is on his way to Turkish side Goztepe

Andre Ayew is on the way to continue his career with a Turkish side Goztepe.

According to the news in Turkish media, the club's management sent their first offer to the 31-year-old experienced player, who played for Swansea City in the EFL Championship.

The Black Stars captain, who played in Turkish giants Fenerbahce for one season, also featured for Marseille, Lorient and West Ham United.

Ayew has scored 35 goals in 106 appearances since rejoining Swansea from West Ham in January 2018. His salary - he is Swansea's top earner by a distance - meant his exit was inevitable after the club missed out on promotion to the Premier League.

Ayew originally joined Swansea on a free transfer from Marseille in 2015 and, after one impressive top-flight season in which he scored 12 goals in 35 appearances, joined West Ham. He returned 18 months later in what remains a club-record deal but could not save Swansea from Premier League relegation.

He spent the following season on loan at Fenerbahce but came back to Swansea in 2019 and has ended the last two campaigns as boss club's leading scorer. The Ghana star has sent an emotional message to Swansea City's players, coaches and fans following his departure from the club.

"Hi Jack Army, this is your boy, Andre. I'm here to say goodbye. Since the final, it was a difficult period for us, the players and for me personally and the team as a whole, I decided to stay quite a little bit," Ayew said in an Instagram video.

"Just wanted to let you guys know that I am so grateful for what you guys have done for me. Thank you so much for the support. Thank you so much for your love.

"I came to the club three times at different periods. I've always succeeded. Thanks to you guys, it is something I will never forget. I'm very proud to have won this shirt with dignity. I am going to miss everyone. I want to thank the staff, the coach Steve Cooper, the players, the physios, the cooks but it's time to say goodbye.

"It is not easy for me, I wish I could have played again in the Premier League with Swansea, but that's football," concluded Ayew.
