  • The duo were seen together after Day Two of Black Stars' preparations for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad
  • Jordan would hope the tips received from Gyan would help him continue his scoring streak for the Black Stars

In a moment that embodied respect and leadership, Jordan Ayew shared an intense conversation with Ghana’s all-time leading goal-scorer, Asamoah Gyan, to absorb words of wisdom.

The Black Stars captain, who will lead the team for the first time since replacing Thomas Partey, took a step back—both literally and figuratively—as he listened intently to the legendary forward.

Jordan's red-hot form since Otto Addo's appointment

Since Otto Addo’s return as head coach in March 2024, Ayew has been Ghana’s most reliable goal threat, netting an impressive seven times, including a stunning hat-trick against the Central African Republic in an earlier qualifier, per Citi Sports.

In the current World Cup qualifying campaign, he ranks just behind Mohamed Salah and Mahmoud Trezeguet, who lead the scoring charts with five strikes each, while Ayew follows closely with four goals, per CAF Online.

What's next?

With Chad up first on March 21 at the Accra Sports Stadium, followed by a trip to Morocco to face Madagascar three days later, the four-time African champions will look to their captain to maintain his scoring streak.

And after an inspiring conversation with Ghana’s greatest-ever goal-scorer, Ayew will be hoping to deliver when it matters most.
