Xavi can now count on Ayew’s experience in his bid to dominate Asian football.
The 31-year-old is expected in Doha on Thursday to complete the routine procedures, followed by the signing of the contract and the official announcement
It is rumoured that Ayew will be paid $220,000 per month, without tax, as per the deal.
Ayew parted ways with Swansea amicably in June after the club’s failure to secure Premier League promotion.
The forward did his very best in the club’s promotion chase as he contributed 17 goals and four assists in the Championship.
