Fenerbahce forward Andre Ayew has underlined his side’s aim ahead of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League clash against Anderlecht.

“We know that we are in a very difficult group. We have a bad start. We have a bad result in Zagreb. We have a great chance to pass the tour. We are developing with each passing day. We will be on the field with 3 points, we have a great chance to continue in the European League. It is an important lane. We must always keep our concentration at a high level until the last moment. All opportunities to pass before us, “said Andre Ayew.

He added, “I have only been here for few months. I knew before I got this league here. I have friends who play in this league. I came to Turkey’s greatest team. I know I played in a very big team. I’m satisfied with such an opportunity. To be here I’m very happy with it. It was a hard start to the season. Self-confidence has increased in the last period. Everyone is going to be more confident. I’m going to be good for my teammates. We play in a very big team.’’
