Ghana striker, Jordan Ayew has discussed\u00a0Black Stars\u2019 chances of winning the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast next year.<\/p>\n

The West African country is one of the 24 countries that will be battling to win the ultimate.<\/p>\n

Having won the trophy in 1982 in Libya, Ghana has come close to ending the jinx in\u00a01992, 2010 and 2015 but failed to win the ultimate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The recent poor performance of the Black Stars has been questioned ahead of the tournament. Ghana suffered a 2-0 defeat against Mexico and a 4-0 defeat against the USA in the October international friendlies without scoring a goal.<\/p>\n

With the 34th edition of the AFCON slated to kick off in less than four months, the Crystal Palace striker says everything comes with time.<\/p>\n

He also added that, the Black Stars team is in transition. <\/p>\n

\u201cEverything has its time,\u201d Jordan told Palace website. When I\u2019m at Palace, I focus 100 per cent on Palace and when I\u2019m with the Ghana national team, I focus 100 per cent on Ghana. There is no problem about thinking what will be happening in three months. We are a team in a building process. We know each other now and we have a good manager in place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ghana have been housed in Group B alongside Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The 2023 AFCON will kick off from January 13\u00a0to February 11.<\/p>\n
