Crystal Palace legend Andrew Johnson has expressed his happiness with the work rate of Ghanaian striker Jordan Ayew, who is yet to score for the club after eight Premier League games.
The 27-year-old is under pressure to step into the shoes of injured Belgium forward Christian Benteke who is expected back in January after joining the Eagles on loan from Swansea City last August.
The London side have failed to claim a win or score a goal in their first four games of the season at Selhurst Park.
But the former player is confident the ex-Aston Villa top-goalscorer will soon rediscover his goalscoring touch.
“Jordan Ayew has just joined and I think he has done fantastic," Johnson said, as quoted by Football.London.
"He works hard, and I think when he gets his first goal, he might go on a goalscoring streak. It just takes something like that to score.

“Loads of teams are in that boat, but the team is chipping in with goals, which is important," he added.
The Ghana international is expected to lead the line against Everton at Goodison Park when the English Premier League resumes this weekend.
