Jordan Ayew is growing in confidence<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana and Marseille striker Jordan Ayew insists he got his Ghana 2012 Africa Cup of Nations call-up on merit.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third son of legend Abedi Pele is among the preliminary 25-man squad named by coach Goran Stevanovic for next month\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n

The Marseille prodigy has put up excellent performances for the first half season for both club and country and could not be overlooked by the Serbian boss.<\/p>\n

His call-up has drawn some criticism that because of his father\u2019s influence in Ghana football led to his call-up.<\/p>\n

But the 20-year-old, who will be making his Nations Cup debut if he is among the 23-man final squad, insists his form for both club and country cannot be questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have worked very hard this six months to be part of the squad and I did a very good work for the half of the season,\u201d the teenager told\u00a0MTNFootball.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ghanaian fans are watching the Ligue 1 and I think it is my hard work which is now paying off so I must continue like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my first Nations Cup so I can\u2019t tell you much but I think if I\u2019m going to a tournament, it is to have playing time and some experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we will all go and give our 100 per cent.\u201d Jordan has come on leaps and bounds after making his full debut in a friendly against Brazil in September.<\/p>\n
