The 36-year-old joined Dutch side NAC Breda in the winter transfer window after months of inactivity.
Ayew’s contract with Le Havre had previously expired in the summer and had been training with Narnia FC in Ghana before his move to the Eredivisie.
Speaking in an interview with ESPN NL, Ayew said retirement isn’t something on his mind at the moment, despite being one of Ghana’s most experienced players.
“I never thought about it because my body is good,” Ayew said. “I feel good, I live my life day to day so I prepare myself every time to have a better tomorrow on the field and off the field.”
The former Swansea City, West Ham United and Nottingham Forest forward has built a decorated career spanning more than a decade in top-flight European football as well as extended service with the Ghana national team.
When asked if he had considered when he might hang up his boots, Ayew kept his focus on the present.
“I don’t think about that,” he added. “When the moment comes, your body will tell you.”
Ayew’s comments have divided Ghanaian fans as the debate continues as to whether the former Black Stars captain should be considered for the 2026 World Cup.
Currently on a six month deal at NAC Breda, Ayew has featured in six league games so far with the sole of objective of helping the club survive relegation.
They are 16th in the league and are four points away from safety after securing a 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Hercules last weekend.
