Ghana captain Andre Ayew has expressed gratitude to coach C.K Akonnor for paying him and his brother a visit in England.

Akonnor met the brothers, who are a key part of the senior national team, to discuss the way forward for the Black Stars ahead of the next international assignment.

"It is an honour for the coach to visit. He has been there before as a captain and understands the situation of wanting to do well for not only us but for all Ghanaians," Ayew said after Akonnor's visit.

"We have had a great meeting. We have a double header and it is good that we win and secure qualification in our quest to bring back the Africa Cup," the Swansea star added.

The Ayew brothers have been influential to the senior national team with Andre the captain of the Black Stars.

Both players are enjoying a good season in England and Wales with the brothers leading the scoring charts for their respective clubs.

The Black Stars will next face Sudan in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on March 22, 2020.
