Son of Abedi Pele

Sept 2016 --Former Ghana midfielder Ibrahim Ayew has signed a two-year contract with Gibraltarian giants FC Europa

The 28-year-old son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele has become the marquee signing for the top-flight side who were eliminated from this season's Europa League qualifiers by AIK Stockholm.

Ayew, who was a member of Ghana’s 2010 FIFA World Cup finals squad, joins on a free transfer after leaving Asante Kotoko two seasons ago.

His playing career was thought to be over after playing an assisting coaching at Nania FC, the Division One League club owned by his father.

Europa FC director Guy Langton is convinced the new signing can power them to the top.

Ayew has previously played for Zamalek of Egypt and Belgian side SK Lierse.

His siblings-Andre (West Ham United’s record signing from Swansea) and Aston Villa striker Jordan- all play in England.
