Jordan Ayew has expressed his reluctance towards comparisons with his brothers, Andre and Rahim, as well as his iconic father, Abedi Ayew ‘Pele’.
The Ayew family has given rise to multiple generations of football players who have subsequently represented the Black Stars on the field.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Abedi emerged as a cherished national figure, contributing to securing Ghana’s last AFCON victory.
He clinched the African Footballer of the Year title thrice and triumphed in the UEFA Champions League with Olympique Marseille. Abedi’s brother, Kwame Ayew, also graced Ghana’s team during the 2000s AFCON.
Among Abedi’s offspring, Rahim, Jordan, and Andre, have represented the national team.
The latter, Andre, presently leads as the Black Stars’ captain. Jordan draws inspiration from his father and siblings’ achievements, aspiring not to surpass them.
The Ayew brothers share a family bond, evident even in their matching arm tattoos.
