He\u2019s got experience of the Premier League and for a club like us to have a player like Jordan is a plus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn every football club, you have a Jordan Ayew that the manager loves to have in the squad. Because Jordan is the type of player who will always put the team first before himself. He\u2019s a team player and his attitude has been fantastic in training, in games, off the field, and I don\u2019t have any doubt that the Palace fans show and give him the love he deserves and needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other side of the game that for us as a club is really important is that players sacrifice themselves for the team. Jordan, yes, shoots and I want him to score more goals and be more decisive, but what he gives to the team, the balance he gives to the team, the way he is working out of possession, allows us to perform.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayew might feature as Palace prepare for a London Derby against West Ham United on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"gPtn5Ff8tNk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Otto Addo, your final 26-man squad should be selected based on merit - Fire for fire  (8-11-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gPtn5Ff8tNk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Ayew \u00a9 Getty Images Crystal Palace Palace boss, Patrick Vieira, has challenged Jordan Ayew to be more decisive in front of goal.
