Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew has hit the jackpot with his transfer to Qatari side Al-Sadd as reports indicate that he will be pocketing a whooping $220,000 per week as his wages.

He will sign a three year contract that will fetch him in excess of more than $10million which will make him one of Africa's richest players with bonuses and other incentives.

The 31 year old forward will undergo his mandatory medical examination in the Gulf Region before putting pen to paper on his contract.

Andre Ayew who is joining the Qatari side will take home a huge signing on fee as the club will not pay any transfer fee since he is joining as a free agent.

The Ghana captain is expected to land in Qatar on Thursday morning and complete his deal before signing the contract.

Andre Ayew departed Swansea after departing Swansea City in the summer after their failure to qualify from the Championship.

He finished the 2020/2021 season as Swansea City's top goal scorer with 17 goals in 46 appearances for the Jack Armies.
