Forward for the Ghana national team (Black Stars) and Crystal Palace Jordan Ayew, , has expressed his desire to play in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) in the future.
Ayew, who currently resides in Accra when in Ghana, stated that he would be open to joining a team based in Accra.
“I have the Ghana Premier League in mind. One day, I could play for a team in Accra because that’s where I live,” Ayew said, as quoted by GTV Sports Plus.
With almost 15 years of professional experience since starting his career in 2009, Ayew acknowledges that his playing days are approaching their end.
Throughout his career, he has represented renowned clubs in Europe such as Olympique Marseille, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace, among others.
If Ayew fulfills his goal of playing in the GPL, he would join a growing list of Black Stars players who have returned to the local league towards the end of their professional careers.
Agyemang Badu, Sulley Muntari, and Samuel Inkoom are among the players who have made such a move.
Notably, Inkoom is still actively playing and recently joined Hearts of Oak for his second season, having joined the team in January 2022.
