Ghana striker Jordan Ayew believes he is increasingly evolving into the matured player everyone wants him to be.

The 22-year-old came off the bench to score his first goal for Sochaux in the 2-0 win over Bordeaux.

The son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele had started all seven games since arriving on loan from Olympique Marseille prior to Saturday’s win.

Jordan has been involved in spats with teammates, opponents and coaches during his time at Marseille.

His temperament however appears to have piped down since joining Sochaux under the guidance of coach Herve Renard.

The 22-year-old has acknowledged the significant changes he is going through in his bid to become an all-round complete player after scoring his first Sochaux goal within two minutes of his introduction.

"Not so long ago, if I'd been told I wouldn't be starting a game then I'd have cried scandal,” he said.

“Now I've matured and when the coach told me I'd be on the bench I didn't say anything. I think I've been rewarded for my efforts."
