Former Ghana defender Dan Quaye has said Andre Ayew was given the captain armband at the U-20 level just to give him a big market value.
Ayew, who ply his trade for Qatari side Al Sadd led the Black Satellite to clinch the FIFA World Cup in Egypt in 2009 becoming the only African country to chalk such feat.
But according to Dan Quaye, the U-20 team was already built and has indicated Ayew was handed the captaincy armband to give him a big market value since he was playing for French Ligue 1 side Olympic Marseille.
“Andre Ayew is a good player but I can tell you the U-20 team groomed by Sellas Tetteh was a complete team even before he was invited”
“Ayew was made the captain just to give him a big market because he was playing for Marseille at the time and at the tournament, he didn’t disappoint,” he said.
