Ghana and Marseille midfielder Andre Ayew has been named best African player in France’s Ligue 1.

Ayew, who celebrated his final days with Marseille, beat Ivory Coast’s Max-Alain Gradel (Saint-Etienne) and Tunisia’s Aymen Abdennour (Monaco) to the Marc-Vivien Foe Trophy.

Last year’s winner, Vincent Enyeama, did not make the final three-man shortlist.

Ayew scored 10 goals in 27 appearances this season for the French club he joined in 2007.

The 25-year-old was picked by a jury of journalists and will receive the gong later on Monday.

He was a member of the Ghana side that lost to Ivory Coast 9-8 on penalties in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations final in Equatorial Guinea.
