Stuttgart to sign striker?

Ghana's striker Ayew Kwame should be unveiled as a Stutgart player today. Kwame will be loaned by Sporting Lisbon until the end of the season, and Stutgart, from the Bundesliga, are the main candidate, after Bochum and Munich 1860 failed in their bids. Ayew, Abedi Pele's brother, joined in with training with the German team on Wednesday, under the command of Ralf Rangnick.

The player's agent Vanio Kostov was today expected in Germany to discuss contract details.

Ayew was bought from Boavista last season, for ?2 million, but Sporting's coach, Augusto Inacio, doesn't want him in the squad.
