Jordan Ayew has been shortlisted alongside Wilfried Zaha for the 2019 African Player of the Year by the Confederation of African Football.
Ayew - one of three Ghanaians on the preliminary shortlist for the men and women's awards - has enjoyed a year which saw him score three goals from four games at the Africa Cup of Nations and six goals in 2019 for Crystal Palace.
The forward is in contention for the award last won by Liverpool and Egypt's Mohamed Salah. The last Ghanaian to win it was Abedi Pele - Ayew's father. His brother, Andre, has finished in third place on two occasions: 2011 and 2015.
