The 18-year old son joins his brother Dede Ayew for the qualifier and is thrilled with the opportunity to play for the Ghana side. He becomes the fifth member of the Ayew family to earn his chance at the senior level after his father Abedi, uncle Kwame and brothers Dede and Rahim Ayew who both in Ghana’s squad for the 2010 World Cup. Now he is confident he will have a career as good as his father’s at the highest level of international football. “I have spoken to my father obviously after the call up and he is happy for me but I don’t want this to be about the family,” he told KickOffGhana.com. “I have a good start to the season at Marseille and I think that is basically the reason I have earned the call up.” “Like most players, I am delighted with the chance to play for the national team. I was shocked when the invitation came because I did not expect it now but I will make the most of it.” Abedi was famed for his breathtaking taking skills on the ball a similarity Jordan says he shares too. “Jordan likes nice football, has an eye for goals and plays with a lot of pace. My technique is good and I love to play with style,” he concluded.
