Biography
Jordan Pierre Ayew (born 11 September 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for EFL Championship club Sheffield United. Born in France, he captains the Ghana national team.
The son of former Ghana national football captain Abedi Pele, and the brother of fellow players André and Ibrahim Ayew, Ayew began his professional career with Marseille, scoring on his senior debut in 2009. After short spells with fellow Ligue 1 clubs Sochaux and Lorient, he was signed by English side Aston Villa in 2015, finishing his only full season as the team's top scorer as they were relegated from the Premier League; this feat was subsequently repeated with Swansea City in 2018. Following Swansea's relegation, Ayew was signed by Crystal Palace, going on to make over 200 appearances for the club.
Born in France, Ayew made his senior debut for Ghana in 2010, and has served as captain since 2025. With over 120 caps, he is the country's record appearance holder. Ayew played for the national team at three FIFA World Cups (2014, 2022 and 2026), as well as six Africa Cup of Nations (2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023), helping them finish runners-up in 2015.
