Ghanaian football star Jordan Ayew is buoyed by promising developments for his nation's footballing future, aiming to extend his impressive scoring run with the Black Stars against Uganda on Tuesday.
The Crystal Palace forward, wearing the No. 9 jersey, recently led his team in a friendly against Nigeria in Marrakech, where despite a 2-1 defeat, he once again showcased his scoring prowess, marking his third goal in Ghana's last two matches.
In both fixtures, Ayew demonstrated his penalty-taking precision, bagging a brace against Mozambique in January during the Africa Cup of Nations, a milestone match as he reached his 100th cap for Ghana.
With the appointment of new head coach Otto Addo, succeeding Chris Hughton post-AFCON, the 32-year-old Ayew envisions a bright path ahead for his nation's football.
Speaking to reporters after the recent friendly, Ayew expressed his optimism, saying, “You know, there's a lot of new boys and we're rebuilding. There's a new technical staff, there's a new manager and obviously, with a new manager, we're rebuilding and we're trying to build a very solid team for the future."
“Me, personally, I'm here to guide the boys who are younger, with some of the senior boys who are older. We’re here to guide them and make sure that we have a solid team for the future,” Ayew added, emphasizing his role in nurturing the next generation of Ghanaian football talent.
