The Ghanaian international winger impressed for his country during the World Cup in South Africa, and has since shown good form on his return to Ligue 1, with a number of clubs across Europe taking an interest in signing the player.

Liverpool director of football strategy, Damien Comolli, made a personal trip to France on Friday night to watch Rennes take on Marseille, with three players thought to be on the radar of the former Spurs supremo.

Sylvain Marveaux and Taye Taiwo have been heavily linked with the Reds in recent weeks, but Ayew is a new name in the Liverpool frame amidst doubts over the long-term fitness record of Marveaux.

The 24-year-old has missed a large part of this season through injury, and despite being a potential free transfer would still be seen as a possible risk for the Merseysiders.

Ayew, on the other hand, has only recently broken into the first team at the Stade Vélodrome after loan stints with Lorient and Arles-Avignon in the past two seasons.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was also thought to be in the market for the player, with Arsene Wenger reportedly offering £5 million for the player's services.

Liverpool lead the Barclays Premier League charge for the player's services now though, with Ayew one of a host of wingers linked with a move to Anfield.

Ashley Young, Charles N'Zogbia and Eden Hazard are also thought to be on the Liverpool shortlist as Kenny Dalglish targets a number of changes in the summer, and the Scot appears set to spend come the end of the season.

Another player from France?  God we've been linked with Frogs so often, might as well call ourselves Miss Piggy (Ar-yah).

Thought he played OK last night against the Mancs.

Other than that not seen much of him.

Not reading too much into it to be honest, like John Henry said pay no attention to everyone we are being linked to through the press as we'd be buying 200 players.

This guys the son of Abedi Pele. Far from the finished article, he could turn into a very good player, or he could be a flop.

A risk.

He did look like a good player in the World Cup, nothing spectacular but potentially good. Don't know any more about him though.

^ Off topic, but every time I see that pic of Dagger giving Nando a forearm shiver to the chin it brings a big smile to my face

Was decent in the World Cup for an overachieving Ghana. The best winger in last night's game vs. the Mancs was Remy in my opinion. Very direct.

Yep same here ,top avatar:)

Dont think he is good enough.Think he looked sloppy against the mancs,Think we could Attract better players then this lad.

Ayew is a very talentuous player.

He didnd't look too bad during their last Champions League game, was sloppy on some occasions. I think the price tag sums up his talent (£5.5m), wouldn't be bad for a squad player but wouldn't be looking for him to be in the starting 11.

£5.5m ? It's nothing. Since the beginning of the year 2011 he's for sure one of the best players of the Ligue 1. He often scores decisive goals or does assists with marseille.

I value Neitsab's opinion. Sees him much more then most of us.

Agree Redman, Neitsab french isn't he same way I respect Dexter opinion on the dutch league ahead of anyone.

I personally was unsure of the lad haven't seen enough of him but Neitsab has seen him a hell of a lot more and thinks he is good enough that is good enough for me

Liverpool to battle Bayern for wing wizard

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/media-watch/liverpool-to-battle-bayern-for-wing-wizard

Reports are coming in concerning the future of Marseille international Ghanaian winger Andrei Ayew as a potential target for Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

Liverpool are looking at various areas within their squad to strengthen and it is no surprise to see Kenny Dalglish interested in Ayew, he has a good reputation and his price is not out of reach of the Anfield board.

Ayew who was born in France, has a buy out clause of 13 million Euros and has now been told by Marseille that he can leave, sparking a rush by clubs to look at the midfielder, a rush that may end up costing Liverpool, if too many clubs show an interest and decide to bid.

Ayew who also goes by the name of Dede the son of former Marseille favourite Abedi Pele, has made 29 appearances for Ghana scoring twice and at 21 has a promising career ahead of him, all in all a perfect target for Liverpool.

Thought he's one of the better players out there when I saw him play for Marseille against us in the Champions League. Also strikes a mean free kick, doesn't he?

Would be a good signing, he had a wonderful season and was Marseille's best player

Well, with Alvaro Arbeloa gone and Alberto Aquilani unsure to stay, I think we should bid for him, just so that we still have someone with my initials at the club.

Think we should be aiming a bit higher then some of these French players,don't rate this lad watched him play against the scum did not think he done anything special. 

He's not even French.

I'm yet to understand why the French league catches such sh*t around here
