Andre Ayew is backing big brother Rahim Ayew to have a huge season and earn his spot in the national team back.

Rahim, the eldest of three sons of Ghanaian legend Abedi Pele has not been called up for Black Stars duties since the 2010 world cup when he was squad member.

But Dede who has just come off the back of a fantastic season at club level is tipping big brother to have a season to remember himself first a club levels with Lierse in Belgium and later with the national team.

"I think he will have a great season this year. I have that feeling he is going to play very well and have the opportunity to get back to the Black Stars," Dede says.

"And when he gets back he can prove what his is worth. A lot of people know what he is worth and he showed that at CHAN and in Angola. So I think he will fight and get his spot in the national team.

"I know that Rahim is a good player and have the quality. I am hopeful and I pray he will get the opportunity and take his chance again."
