U-20 World Cup winner, Andre Ayew is backing an African nation to clinch the upcoming youth championship to be staged in Argentina.
Ghana, led by Ayew as captain, remain the only nation from the continent to win the global showpiece - in 2009 edition held in Egypt.
Four African nations [Senegal, the Gambia, Tunisia and Nigeria] will participate in the competition which will kick-start on May 20.
"When it comes to football, the African continent is united, which is a blessing. Senegal are in excellent form – they’re African champions and have some real "cracks" in their team," Ayew told FIFA media.
"As for the Gambia, I greatly admire the work their federation is doing. We witnessed a very strong Gambia side at the last AFCON, and I know that their youth teams are formidable.
"Without much fuss, Tunisia have assembled a tenacious side, while Nigeria never show up at an underage World Cup without aspirations of a podium finish. May the best team win and bring honour to the continent!"
