Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has revealed drawing inspiration from his father, Abedi Pele ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ayew, who currently plies his trade in Qatar for Al Sadd has arrived in Ghana to prepare for the mundial.
The 32-year-old's father Abedi Pele, achieved a lot in football but was unable to feature at the World Cup.
Despite making his third World Cup appearance in Qatar, the former Swansea star still feels he lives in his father's shadow.
"I take a lot of inspiration from my father"- Ghana captain Andre Ayew
“What was difficult was people always talking about my dad and what he had done, always wanting to see him in me,” forward Ayew said in an interview more than a decade ago.
“When I decided to try to make a life in football, I knew what would be waiting.
“I take a lot, if not every, inspiration from him."
Ayew and his younger brother Jordan Ayew have been named in Ghana's 55-man squad for the World Cup in Qatar later this month.
The Black Stars have been drawn in Group H of the World Cup alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
