Andre Ayew hits top form for Marseille ahead of Ghana's clash with Uganda
Ghana winger Andre Ayew hit top form in the French
top-flight on Friday night 24 hours before his
arrival to face Uganda and Togo in the 2015 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The talented player set up a goal for Marseille in
their most impressive performance of the new Ligue
1 season to convincingly beat Nice 4-0 at the
Stade Velodrome.

Dimitri Payet scored either side of Florian
Thauvin's strike, before Abdel Barrada added a
late fourth as the hosts won successive matches,
after picking up just one point from their first
two games.

Thauvin, who was linked with both Arsenal and
Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer, twice went
close before doubling Marseille's advantage from
Andre Ayew's cross a minute before the break.

Thauvin seeing a goalbound shot cleared away by a
defender before doubling his side's lead on the
stroke of half-time with a close-range finish from
Ayew's cutback.

This could be Ayew's last match for the club as
English sides are in hunt to sign him before the
transfer window shuts tomorrow.

He is expected to arrive in Ghana for the matches
against Uganda and Togo by Monday night.
