Sheffield United are considering a free transfer swoop for experienced forward Andre Ayew, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 33-year-old is still without a club since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of his contract in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, he remains match-fit and is part of the Ghana squad for their international fixtures against the Central African Republic and Liberia this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sheffield<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is believed Sheffield United could face potential competition for Ayew<\/a> from other Premier League clubs who are also ready to hand him another opportunity in England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blades are keen to strengthen in attack despite having high hopes for a new-look partnership of Cameron Archer and Ollie McBurnie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Heckingbottom’s side picked up their first point against Everton on 2 September, drawing 2-2 largely thanks to the influence of Archer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayew played 13 times for Nottingham Forest in the second half of the 2022-23 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He left Qatari outfit Al-Sadd for the City Ground having scored 22 goals in 41 games for the Middle Eastern outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The versatile attacker has also played at Marseille, West Ham, Swansea, Fenerbahce and Lorient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayew can lead the line, play in attacking midfield and on both flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has racked up 21 goals and 12 assists across 102 total appearances in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sheffield<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 114-cap Ghana international will be keen to stay at the top of his game ahead of the African Cup of Nations in the Ivory Coast next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayew will join Rigobert Song and Ahmed Hassan in the AFCoN record books if he appears in a joint-highest eighth tournament in January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
