Black Stars captain, Jordan Ayew, has said that he has never measured his career against those of his father, Abedi Ayew, or his elder brother, Andre Ayew, insisting that his focus has always been on forging his own path in football.

Speaking to the Ghana Football Association media, the Leicester City forward said he has always been determined to become the best version of himself rather than trying to emulate two of Ghana's most celebrated footballers.

Jordan explained that while he is proud of his family's achievements in the game, he understands that every player's journey is different and that comparisons are neither realistic nor helpful.

“I don't compare myself to my dad. And I've never said I want to be like Andre or my dad. I've always wanted to do my own life and my own career and try to be the best version of myself and make my family proud,” Jordan said.

The 34-year-old stressed that matching the accomplishments of Abedi Pele, a three-time African Footballer of the Year, or Andre Ayew, one of Ghana's most-capped players, was never his objective.

“I can't be like my father. I can't be like Andre,” he added.

Jordan has carved out an impressive career of his own, representing clubs in France and England, and most recently Leicester City, while also becoming a key figure for the Black Stars.
