Togo coach Tchanile Tchakala has observed that Jordan Ayew is highly productive for Ghana when his elder brother Andre is not around.
The 22-year-old put up a heart of on the sleeves performance when the Black Stars thumped the Hawks 3-1 on Wednesday to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
Jordan, who plays for FC Lorient, was making a return to the team after serving a one-match ban which saw him miss the 1-0 defeat to Uganda last Saturday.
Tchakala has praised the third son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele and described him as a great player.
“Look, let me tell you something, Jordan was too special in this game and I will tell u why. Watch the boy very well,†Tchakala said in a post-match interview.
“Whenever he plays along with his brother, he feels he is still a little boy since his senior brother is around.
“But when the brother is not around, he plays to show that even if his brother is not around, he is ready to carry the team on his shoulders. He is a great player.â€
