<p>The 32-year-old has often been criticised for his performances in a Ghana shirt but has come up clutch in his country’s last two World Cup qualifying matches.</p>

<p>Ayew came off the bench to score the winner as Ghana beat Mali 1-2 in Bamako last Thursday and also netted a <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/black-stars/ghana-4-3-central-african-republic-jordan-ayew-hat-trick-powers-black-stars-to/fqmf0vk">sensational hat-trick when the Black Stars won 4-3 over the Central African Republic (CAR)</a> on Monday.</p>

<p>Speaking in the aftermath of the game, which marked his 104th cap for Ghana, the Crystal Palace forward said his favourite position is as a number nine.</p>

<p>He was, however, quick to add that he will always be ready to make sacrifices and play anywhere without complaining.</p>

<p><em>"I've been playing out of position for quite some time in the national team and also at the club level. But I have always done my duty, put my country first, and never complained because I always give my all,” </em>Ayew said.</p>

<p><em>“It's difficult. It's not something that I like to talk about, but obviously, my favourite position right from the academy, France, in the national team has always been as a number 9. </em></p>

<p><em>"But I understand because I have qualities that allow me to play in the pockets of spaces, and I don't complain." </em></p>

<div class="embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">👏🏾 Massive congratulations to Jordan Ayew on reaching an incredible milestone - 100 caps for Ghana!
