Ghana winger Andre Ayew wants to play as a striker

Published on: 29 April 2011

Ghana’s Andre Ayew wants to continue as a lead striker after the experiment of playing him an attacker for Marseille provided the desired results.

Ayew, who is a left winger, scored a hat-trick in Marseille's 4-2 win against Nice on Wednesday as an experiment by coach Didier Deschamps.

The Ghanaian enjoyed playing in centre forward position and he is happy with his new role.

"It's not my (usual) position but the coach knows what he is doing, we just have to give our best," Ayew told the club's website.

"We all try to give something extra to the team."

Marseille lead the standings on 61 points ahead of their home match against Auxerre on Sunday.

The new position could also give the Ghana attack new options as he could fight with Asamoah Gyan, Prince Tagoe and Dominic Adiyiah to boost the Ghana striking department.

This could give the opportunity for other players like Sulley Muntari and Kwadwo Asamoah to concentrate on the left wing position in the Black Stars.
