Dede named best player in Marseille

Ghana international Andre Ayew has been voted as the Best Player of Olympique Marseille for the month of April.

The trophy will be given to him before the match against Olympique Lyon on Sunday at the Stade Velodrome.

Ayew has scored five goals in 22 league games. Marseille are currently sixth on the log with 53 points, five points behind Lyon in fifth place for Europa league slot.
