Everton Still Hope To Salvage a Deal for Andre Ayew With Nottingham Forest Also Interested

Andre Ayew has landed in London after receiving a £2.5million golden handshake to clear his return to English football, with Everton set for talks with the forward as they try to salvage their botched transfer window.

Ayew has jetted into the capital from the Middle East to negotiate his anticipated return to the Premier League, news exclusively revealed by MailOnline on Wednesday morning.

Having held an initial round of discussions, that included sporting director Kevin Thelwell, relegation-threatened Everton are due to hold further face-to-face talks with Ayew.

However, there are no guarantees the former Swansea and West Ham star will join Everton with Nottingham Forest, among other clubs, also interested.

Ayew shares a close relationship with Forest boss Steve Cooper following their time together at Swansea, while Crystal Palace have shown an interest in the past.
