There’s happiness anytime I play with my brother – Ayew
Black Stars striker Jordan Ayew says he finds joy whenever he is on the same team as his elder brother Andre Ayew because it represents fulfilled aspirations.
They have shared the dressing room with a number of teams, the first being their father’s former team, Olympique Marseille. In France, the duo followed in their father’s footsteps by winning the league and super cup together.
Their paths crossed again as Jordan moved from Aston Villa to Swansea City to rejoin his brother in the Premier League.
Andre and Jordan have also played for the Black Stars since 2010, recording 114 and 90 appearances respectively, putting them in the top five, with Andre, the captain dominating the chart.
While many have questioned their longevity, notably at the Black Stars, the Crystal Palace forward stated that playing alongside his brother is a dream come true.
“Every time I play with my brother there is happiness because we fulfilled our dreams,” the forward said.
“It was painful to leave the tournament, but we did our best and gave everything to present Ghana in the best way possible.”
He further commended his family for playing a crucial role in realising their dreams.
“I have a big family, I was raised by grandparents, aunties and uncles. They did a really good job. If I’m here today it’s because of them, they played their part.
“I always say that it’s important for me to remember where I came from, to thank them for their role in bringing me up. I feel blessed.”
