Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has hailed the leadership of former Black Stars skipper Andre Ayew, describing his presence and command on the pitch as exceptional.

In an interview on Asempa FM, Sibo also shared his thoughts on Jordan Ayew, who succeeded his older brother as captain of the Ghana national team earlier this year. He acknowledged Jordan’s work ethic and leadership potential but believes Andre’s influence remains unmatched.

“Jordan Ayew is a good player, and his commitment is unquestionable, but I think Andre Ayew’s leadership skills are above Jordan’s leadership skills,” Sibo stated. “You could always see Andre controlling the players on the pitch when he was with the team. But now that Jordan has been given the armband, maybe we can see something different from him.”

Jordan Ayew, currently with Leicester City, was handed the captaincy in March ahead of Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. He led the Black Stars to a resounding 5-0 win over Chad and a solid 3-0 victory over Madagascar, and recently guided the team to a third-place finish in the 2024 Unity Cup held in London.

Jordan is expected to continue in his role when Ghana returns to World Cup qualifying action against Chad and Mali in September.
