I believe in destiny – Jordan Ayew on Black Stars captaincy

Newly appointed Ghana captain Jordan Ayew says his leadership role with the Black Stars was destined to happen.

The forward, who follows in the footsteps of his father Abedi Pele, and brother Andre Ayew, believes it is a natural progression in his career.

Speaking in an interview with BBC, Ayew said: “It’s just something that was written in the stars.”

“We’re just a passionate family. We just want to do our best [and] let the people enjoy our game.”

Despite taking over the armband, the former Crystal Palace striker insists his main focus remains on helping Ghana qualify for the World Cup.

“I’m not someone who thinks about [being] captain or [a] leadership role,” he added. “I just want to enjoy playing football, winning games, scoring goals, and making people happy.”

Ayew and his teammates will look to secure crucial points when they take on Chad and Madagascar in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
