World Cup: “Andre Ayew has a lot to offer Ghana squad” – Lee Addy

Former Ghana international Lee Addy has told Panafricafootball.com, NAC Breda forward Andre Ayew will be a good addition to Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Andre, 36, joined the Dutch Eredivisie side for the rest of the current campaign after his contract with Ligue 1 side Le Havre expired last season.

The former Swansea City attacker joined as a free agent to boost the club’s fight against relegation.

The four time African champions have named experienced Portuguese manager Carlos Queiroz as head coach for the mundial.

With Ghana’s World Cup journey rocked by injuries to key forwards like Mohammed Kudus and Ernest Nuamah, Lee Addy believes Andre Ayew has qualities to offer the senior team.

“Yes, because he has a lot of things to offer the national team, leadership qualities,” Lee Addy told Pan Africa Football.

“He is someone who can motivate the younger ones [because] I’ve been a victim before and me seeing Stephen Appiah, John Mensah, John Paintsil, Eric Addo, Hans Sarpei on television and seeing them one-on-one motivated me a lot to bring out my best.

“So I think Andre Ayew has a lot of things to offer the national team this time around.”

Andre, who currently plays alongside fellow Ghanaians Kamal Sowah and Denis Odoi, has made 13 appearances with a goal to his credit.

Ghana is paired alongside Panama, Croatia and England for the World Cup to be hosted in Canada, USA and Mexico in June.
