Ghana striker Jordan Ayew heads home with no regrets after giving 100% at Crystal Palace

Ghanaian striker, Jordan Ayew is full of praise for himself after giving 100% at Crystal Palace this season ahead of his imminent departure for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The 30-year-old has struggled to score regularly for the Eagles, ending his 43-game scoring drought for Palace in their 2-2 draw against Southampton on December 16.

“I’ve been in the game for quite a long time now,” he told the club’s official website. “There are some periods in your life where things don’t go your way, and some periods where they go your way. I’ve had that period for a couple of months.

“But you keep working hard. I wake up every morning proud of what I’ve achieved in football. I wake up every morning knowing that when I come to train, I will give 100%, and when I play for Crystal Palace I will give 100%.

“When I go home I will have no regrets because I know I have given 100%. That is what is important for me.”

Ayew has been named in Ghana’s 30-man provisional squad for the AFCON which kicks off on January 9, 2022.

Black Stars have been placed in Group C alongside Morocco, Gabon and Comoros.

Black Stars have already started camping in Doha, Qatar. The team will play two games to give coach Rajevac the opportunity to assess his squad before they fly to Yaounde.
