Jordan Ayew

Set for major role

Ayew is in line for a lion's share of the set-pieces at the 2026 World Cup with Ghana.

Analysis: Ayew normally has a split of sets alongside Mohammed Kudus, but with Kudus (quad) out for the tournament Ayew could be in line for most or all of the set-pieces. He earned a single assist last time out in the World Cup, but this is a much better attacking unit on the whole, though still with a defensive mindset. Ayew is coming off six goals and three assists in the Championship, his best goalscoring season since 2019.
