Andre Ayew eyes second BBC Award in five years

Published on: 16 November 2016

Ghana deputy skipper Andre Ayew says he is expecting to be voted the 2016 BBC Africa Footballer of the Year for the second time in five years.

The West Ham United star won the gong in 2011 beating competition from and is expecting to win it again after half a decade.

Andre has been nominated for the prestigious award again following his tremendous form last season for Swansea City where he scored 12 goals to finish as the Club’s top scorer.

His performance for Swansea forced West Ham United to break the bank to sign him for a club record of €20million.

“It is a big honor, something every Africa player will like to win, I have won it before and will be hoping to win it again,” he said after his nomination.

Andre’s supersonic performance last season has been crippled by injury compelling him to a slow start to the season for West Ham this season.
