A creative shared on the parody page had a photo-shopped face of Ayew on it, accompanied by the caption “Welcome Jordan Ayew.”

Ayew struggled in front of goal in the 2020-21 season, where he managed just a single goal for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

He recently came in for severe criticism after drawing blanks in Ghana’s international friendlies against Morocco and the Ivory Coast in June.
However, Ayew has been a regular fixture for new Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira this season and is currently in camp with the Black Stars, as they prepare for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa.
