Former Ghana international, Emmanuel Osei Kuffour, has called for the management of the Black Stars to move on from Andre Ayew as he believes the player has passed his best.
According to him, it is high time the technical team of the senior national team paid attention to the youngsters in the team to ensure that Ghana chalks success again on the international level.
Andre has been a regular in the national team following his triumph with the Black Satellites at the 2009 FIFA U20 World Cup and is currently the captain of the Black S’tars.
However, Osei Kuffour, who also played for Ghana Premier League giants, Hearts of Oak, believes the Nottingham Forest man should be a thing of the past for Chris Hughton’s team.
“Andre Ayew is done with the Black Stars and should be shown the exit in order to open doors for emerging talents like Kudus Mohammed,” Kuffour said on Onua FM.
“Dede Ayew has been with the Black Stars since 2008, and it’s time to leave. Kudus Mohammed, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and others also need the space to show us what they have.”
He added that while Andre should be shown the exit, Jordan, on the other hand, should be kept in the team.
“Andre Ayew has served and must give way. His younger brother Jordan is there and still has something to deliver, unlike Dede, who has fulfilled his responsibilities with the senior national team. He needs to leave and make way for others too,” he continued.
Andre has netted 24 goals for the Black Stars since his debut and has racked up 113 appearances for the national team.
