Ghana striker Jordan Ayew has revealed his willingness to adapt to different roles within the national team and his club Crystal Palace, despite playing out of his preferred position.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ayew, traditionally a number 9, has found himself deployed as a winger and even as a central midfielder in recent years.<\/p>\n

However, in a must-win game against the Central African Republic, Ghana coach Otto Addo named him as a centre forward, where Ayew demonstrated his quality by scoring a hat-trick in a thrilling 4-3 victory that saw Ghana take control of Group I in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his adaptability, Ayew stated, \u201cI\u2019ve been playing out of position for quite some time in the national team and also at the club level. But I have always done my duty, put my country first, and never complained because I always give my all.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Ayew acknowledges his preference for the number 9 role, he understands the importance of utilising his versatility in different positions on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s difficult. It\u2019s not something that I like to talk about, but obviously, my favourite position right from the academy, France, in the national team has always been as a number 9. But I understand because I have qualities that allow me to play in the pockets of spaces, and I don\u2019t complain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Despite uncertainties surrounding his club\u2019s future amid reports of a potential departure from Crystal Palace, Ayew remains focused and composed. He has showcased his scoring prowess for Ghana, netting seven goals in his last five games.<\/p>\n
