Having already covered a story on Thursday about Jordan Ayew possibly leaving Steve Bruce and returning to Ligue 1 in January, we thought that would be the end of it for now.
However, La Gazette des Transferts saw it differently and published an article in their monthly newspaper claiming AS Saint-Etienne are interested in signing the Aston Villa forward in January.
Ayew, who is allegedly keen to leave the Midlands in order to bounce back at a higher level, is unwilling to agree with ASSE’s request of him missing the African Cup of Nations in January, with Ghana likely to call him up to their squad for the competition.
The forward, who prefers to play through the middle, has been used mostly on the wings by Aston Villa this season, which has led to the player’s goalscoring output to drop, scoring only two goals in 17 appearances so far this season.
The 25-year-old has scored 10 goals in 54 appearances for the club since his £10m move from Lorient during the summer of 2015.
