Ghana striker, Jordan Ayew, has described his new record as the highest Ghanaian goal scorer in the English Premier League as a massive achievement.
The 28-year-old scored in Crystal Palace’s 2:0 win at the Vitality Stadium against Bournmouth.
Jordan’s goal was his 9th goal of the season making it his 25th overall in the competition, making him the top-scoring Ghanaian player in Premier League history ahead of former Leeds United striker Tony Yeboah.
The former Swansea City forward is delighted with his accomplishments this season, especially surpassing Yeboah’s record.
“Tony Yeboah is massive, maybe the best striker of all-time in Ghana,” he told Sky Sports.
