Ghana forward Jordan Ayew has joined Lorient on a four-year deal from Marseille, a statement by the club said on Monday.
“The style and quality of play that is proposed here is perfect for me,” said Ayew, whose older brother Andre remains a Marseille player.
Ayew was loaned to Sochaux in January as he struggled to secure a regular spot in the Marseille starting XI.
The 22-year old is following in his older brother’s footsteps as Andre Ayew, 24, spent a season on loan at Lorient in 2008/09.
Both brothers represented Ghana at the World Cup in Brazil, where they crashed out in the group stage.
