English Premier League club Everton has entered into the fray to sign Black Stars captain Andre Ayew, according to the grapevine.
The Ghana captain and his former side Al Sadd SC announced over the weekend that they had mutually agreed to part ways, consequently rendering him a free agent.
The Merseyside club is reportedly keen on signing the former Olympique Marseille forward before the winter transfer window closes.
Everton is looking to sign the Ghana international to augment their squad in their effort to avoid the drop at the end of the season.
The enterprising forward is expected to hit the ground running should he sign with the Toffees because he is not new to the English Premier League, having featured for West Ham United and Swansea City.
Everton is said to be racing against time to get the signature of Andre Ayew before the transfer deadline reaches.
The Ghanaian forward has scored 21 goals in 89 appearances in the English top flight.
