Ghana striker Jordan Ayew has revealed he was desirous to become a formula I driver growing up as a child.
Jordan, the youngest of the Ayew brothers however, could not accomplish his talent in football until he became a teenager when he considered to follow the profession of his father (Abed Pele), one of Ghana’s and Africa’s most celebrated footballers.
According to him, his interest in Formula I sport remains one of his favorite sporting disciplines despite switching to football.
“It’s true when I was young I used to go behind trade fair and race with my friends that I knew in my childhood. We kept on racing and racing until it became more than a hobby for me,” he told Daniel Oduro of Ghanaweb.com.
“I didn’t have the opportunity so I was playing football as well. When you are young, you do several sports and it was football that happened. I don’t know how football happened but it was the one that came my way and I took the opportunity,” he added.
The 26-year-old was recently in the Black Stars Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya and the international friendly with Mauritania at the Accra Sports Stadium.
