The Leicester City forward, who touched down in Ghana ahead of the Black Stars’ World Cup qualifiers, struggled to make his way to his vehicle as the men surrounded him, hoping for handouts.
In a viral video, Ayew was seen walking towards his car as the men followed closely, stretching their hands into the vehicle’s window in a bid to receive money.
The situation quickly escalated as they clung to different parts of the car, making it difficult for the driver to move. Despite repeated calls for them to step aside, the men refused to let go.
His arrival comes at a crucial time for the Black Stars, as coach Otto Addo recently announced his squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The 23-man squad, captained by Ayew, includes three home-based players: goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, defenders Kamaradini Mamudu and Razak Simpson and other international stars like Thomas Partey.
Ghana is set to face Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, before travelling to Morocco to take on Madagascar on Monday, March 24.
With nine points from four matches, the Black Stars are currently second in their group, level with Comoros.
