Ayew carved a cult-hero status at the South London club, playing a pivotal role at the club in the past six season. He was Player of the Year at Palace in the 2019/20 season after netting nine Premier League goals that season.

The 32-year-old has been plying his trade in England for the past nine years, joining Aston Villa in 2017 before leaving after a season to sign for Swansea, where he played alongside his senior brother Andre Ayew.

Last season Ayew netted four goals and delivered seven assists at Crystal Palace, per Transfermarkt.
