The 36-year-old has signed a contract with the Yellow and Black outfit until the end of the 2025–26 season, with an option for renewal subject to performance-related clauses. Ayew arrives at the Rat Verlegh Stadion bringing vast top-level experience, having featured prominently in the English Premier League, Ligue 1 and major international tournaments.
A three-time FIFA World Cup participant with Ghana, Ayew remains keen on extending his international career and is targeting a return to the Black Stars setup ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Sources close to the player indicate that regular playing time and strong performances in the Eredivisie were key factors behind his decision to join NAC Breda.
