Former Accra Hearts of Oak midfielder, Emmanuel Osei Kuffour has called for the exclusion of the skipper of the Black Stars, Andre Ayew from the team.
Speaking in an interview with Onua Sport, Kuffour expressed his belief that Ayew’s time with the Black Stars has come to an end should pave way for emerging talents.
“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 asserted. “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 told Onua sports.
The CAF Champions league winner however emphasised that Ayew’s younger brother, Jordan Ayew, still has a significant role to play in the national team and has more to offer compared to Andre.
“Andre Ayew has served and must give way,” Kuffour stated. “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.”
Andre Ayew made his debut for the Black Stars in 2007 and has went on to feature 113 times scoring 24 goals in the process.
