Finally! Ayew Congratulates Aubamayeng
Ghana midfielder and 2nd runner-up during the recent GLO/CAF awards gala has eaten humble pie after he took too social media to congratulate Gabonese striker, Emerick-Pierre Aubamayeng.
The Ghanaian placed third for the second time in a row and had initially lost the crown for BBC footballer of the year to Ivorian international and Manchester city midfielder, Yaya Toure. The Swansea City midfielder was touted to be crowned king of African football after favourite Yaya Toure was named as second place after winning 4 times in a row.
The Swansea City top goal scorer wrote on his official instagram account, “God is great. 3rd place for the 2nd time in my career. I know Ghanaians and my fans were waiting for the 1st place and that was my goal just like the AFCON.”
The 26 – year old added, “But I will work hard to make my country and fans proud. congratulations to my brother Aubamayeng for winning and my big brother Yaya Toure for all what he has done for our continent.”
The son of Ghana’s maestro and arguably best ever footballer, Abedi Ayew ‘Pele’ will now be focused on reviving his dwindling form and that of his club, Swansea City and hope for better luck at next year’s event.
