Le Havre AC officially announced on Friday, August 1, 2025, the departure of Ghanaian international forward André Ayew. A key figure at the Normandy club, Ayew played a crucial role in securing the team’s survival in French Ligue 1 over the past two seasons.
Arriving in November 2023 after a distinguished European and international career, André Ayew brought experience and offensive skill to a club aiming for Ligue 1 stability. Despite a rocky start that saw him red-carded shortly after his debut, he quickly became essential, showing leadership that helped the team’s solid performance.
The club expressed its gratitude: “Thank you, André, for your commitment and vital role in our survival. We wish you all the best in your future career.” His departure comes ahead of the 2025-2026 season kickoff, signaling a new era for Le Havre.
At 35 years old, former Ghana Black Stars captain and U20 World Cup winner André Ayew remains an iconic figure in African football. His career has taken him through the Premier League with Nottingham Forest, to Qatar, and notably multiple French clubs.
Le Havre now faces the challenge of replacing its offensive leader as it prepares for an ambitious Ligue 1 campaign aiming to strengthen its elite status. Ayew’s exit thus concludes an important chapter for the Normandy club.
