Ghana forward Andre Ayew says he is delighted to join Al-Sadd, a club which his family has so much history with and hopes to crown it all by helping the team win the Asian Champions League.

He joined the Asian club after leaving Swansea City as a free agent after they failed to reach the Premier League after defeat to Brentford.

Ayew was unveiled by the club last week after signing a money spinning two year contract with the Qatari side.

The club have been very dominant in domestic football since Xavi Hernandez who played for the team took charge as the coach winning a raft of trophies.

The former Swansea man says he hopes to help Al-Sadd win more trophies including the Asian Champions League title.

“My goal is to win titles, make the fans happy, strive hard and try to win the AFC Champions League," Ayew told the club's website.

Ayew, who reportedly will earn more than $200,000 a month, was visibly happy after signing the contract last week. He was accompanied by his legendary father, Abedi Pele who during his illustrious career spent one year at Al Sadd.

"I am very happy and proud to be a member and player of Al Sadd Club, an important moment for me and my family, because of what Al Sadd club has given my family in the past, so when the club offered me a contract I agreed directly and I am sure we will win more championships," Ayew said.

"There are certainly great memories I got from my father during his time playing with Al Sadd in the past, he told me a lot about Al Sadd and Qatar, and he helped me make the right decision to play for the dam,” Ayew said.

As for his knowledge of the players of the leader, the Ghanaian professional pointed out that he played against many of the players of Al-Sadd and knows them well.

He said: “I know Baghdad Bounedjah with success and which I played against him in Africa as well as Akram Afif, Hassan Al Haydos and Saad Al Dosari I know them well with the Qatari team, and The Spaniard Santi Cazorla during his time playing in the English League, and I hope to be a big supporter for them in the upcoming benefits.”
