Andre Ayew can be a Ghana legend

Rahim Ayew has tipped his younger brother Andre to become the country’s ”greatest” player in history and likened him to former World player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo.

Andre, second son to Ghana legend Abedi Pele, enjoyed a terrific season with French giants Olympic Marseille where he crowned an incredible season by winning the club’s player of the season.

The 21-year-old has emerged as a hot transfer target despite insisting he is happy at the Stade Gerland.

The ex-Lorient winger captained Ghana to make history by becoming the first African country to win the World Youth Championship in the competitions 32-year history.

His elder brother believes the youngster is showing signs of a would-be legend.

“I look at him now and his age and can’t help just know that he’ll be Ghana’s greatest football in the years to come,” Ayew said.

“He is faster and plays like Cristiano Ronaldo and I think among the three of us he’s the one with many qualities and that make him stands tall. He’s a fighter and believes with time he’ll be regarded as Ghana’s number one.”
