Ghana has produced generations of footballing royalty — from Abedi Pele lighting up Europe in the 80s and 90s to his sons carving their own path in the beautiful game.
If there’s one story that captures persistence, identity and unshakable pride, it’s that of Jordan Ayew — the brother once dreaming of eclipsing his family’s legacy and now a legend in his own right.
Born into footballing royalty as the son of Ghana great Abedi Pele and younger brother of André and Ibrahim, Jordan could have rested in the shadows.
Instead, the Marseille-born forward forged his own journey from Ligue 1 to England’s top flight, becoming one of the most durable African stars of his generation.
He isn’t flashy with words — but his career longevity, leadership, and goalscoring record have spoken louder than any preseason hype.
🔥What They Say About Him 🗣️:
🗣️ Kamaldeen Sulemana: “The one with the most goals in the Premier League is Jordan Ayew… he’s played for years and scored so many goals, so I’d say him.”
🗣️ Jordan Ayew: “I believe in myself, and I believe in my abilities… I know I can bring a lot to the team.”
🗣️Abedi 'Pele' Ayew (Father & Ghana Legend): They are both my children... but I am not the only person to say that, even Andre also says that Jordan is the most talented in the family. Jordan has got speed, and he is very elegant and very nice to watch. He is relaxed, skilful and has strength; he has all the ingredients.
🗣️Carlos Carvalhal (Former Swansea City Manager): We are very happy that Jordan can play because he is one of the best-attacking players in the Premier League right now... He thinks differently from others.
🗣️Jordan Ayew on his brother Andre: There is no rivalry between us, but maybe I am more ambitious than him!
