Jordan Ayew and Kudus get special compliments from Ghana FA boss Okraku

Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kurt Edwin Simeon Okraku has praised Jordan Ayew's fighting spirit following an outstanding season at Crystal Palace.

After a difficult first term where he netted just once, Ayew switched things up a notch in 2019-20 as he registered nine goals in 37 Premier League appearances.

He shattered a record to become Ghana's highest scorer in the English topflight (25 goals) in the process and also ended the campaign as The Eagles' top scorer. His fine performances earned him a treble at Palace's 2020 end of season awards where he won the club's Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season and Best Goal honours.
