Head coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo, has lauded captain Jordan Ayew for his exceptional leadership and influence within the national team.
Jordan, who captained the side during the World Cup qualifiers, played a pivotal role in helping Ghana secure qualification for the tournament to be hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the USA.
The Leicester City forward delivered an outstanding performance throughout the campaign, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists — a total of 14 goal involvements in 10 appearances.
Speaking to Joy Sports, Otto Addo expressed admiration for Ayew’s consistency and leadership qualities.
“Since the day I came, he’s been good,” Otto said.
“I predominantly see him as a center forward. He’s a great leader. The most important thing is that we have clarity and unity in the team.”
Ayew will make his 3rd appearance at the FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the USA, after making previously featuring in the 2014 and 2022 editions.
