Jordan Ayew one goal away from becoming joint-highest Ghanaian scorer in Premier League

Jordan Ayew’s goal for Crystal Palace against Brighton did more than just hand the Eagles three points this weekend.

It also took him just one behind Anthony Yeboah – Ghana’s highest ever scorer in the Premier League.

The goal was Jordan’s seventh of the season and, perhaps even more importantly, his 23rd overall in the Premier League.

Tony Yeboah’s tally of 24 Premier League goals is the highest ever notched by a Ghanaian.

Jordan passed his brother Andre’s tally of 21 goals when he scored Palace’s leveller against Arsenal in January.

His 23 goals have come in 127 appearances in the Premier League.

He amassed his tally playing in the English top-flight with Aston Villa, Swansea City and Palace.

He scored seven goals in his first season in the Premier League with Villa before netting once in the 2016-17 season while at Swansea.

The next season he scored seven more for the Welsh club.

He earned a loan move to Palace after Swansea went down to the Championship but endured a difficult goalscoring season, finding the net just once in 20 appearances.

Jordan is now two goals clear of his brother Andre Ayew, who scored 21 times for Swansea and West Ham while in the Premier League, although Andre scored his in considerably fewer games.

He’ll be hoping to match or even surpass Anthony Yeboah’s tally of 24 goals in 47 appearances for Leeds United.

Yeboah scored 12 goals in each of the 1994-95 and 1995-96 Premier League seasons.

Top five Ghanaian goalscorers in the Premier League

Anthony Yeboah – 47 appearances – 24 goals

Jordan Ayew – 127 appearances – 23 goals

Andre Ayew – 89 appearances – 21 goals

Michael Essien – 168 appearances – 17 goals

Asamoah Gyan – 34 appearances – 10 goals
