It is appropriate to refer to Andre Ayew as a Ghanaian legend in light of his recent success.

Only one other player in Ghana's history has played in 109 games, and that man is the captain.

In 2019, Asamoah Gyan's record was matched by Ayew at the Africa Cup of Nations competition in Egypt.

Ayew reached the joint-most caps for Ghana on Tuesday in a friendly match against Nicaragua in Lorca, Spain.

Ayew didn't start the game, but he was added in the 82nd minute.

As Ayew onto the field at the Estadio Francisco Artés Carrasco, Ghanaian supporters cheered him, showing their admiration for the Al Sadd star's commitment to the Black Stars and hard work.

It was a memorable moment for Ayew, who is now determined to own the record entirely.

The impressive numbers behind Ayew's latest achievement

Ayew accomplished the impressive feat in one year less than Asamoah Gyan.

Gyan took 16 years to reach 109 appearances, while Ayew took 15 years. This is because Gyan made his Black Stars debut in 2003, while Ayew made his debut in 2007.

Ayew has 23 goals and seven assists for a total of 30 goal contributions, which is outstanding.

Only the legendary Karim Abdul Razak has scored more goals for Ghana than Ayew (25). Ayew will undoubtedly surpass him.

Ayew is fifth on Ghana's all-time top scorer list, but he tops the list in the Africa Cup of Nations because he has scored more goals than any Ghanaian in the competition's history. The 32-year-old has scored 10 goals.

Ayew is Ghana's all-time appearance leader in the Africa Cup of Nations (33).

The former Swansea City and West Ham United player has played over 7500 minutes for the Black Stars.
