Jordan Ayew in Ghana squad

Jordan Ayew is in a 25-man party for Ghana's Nations Cup campaign in a squad of few surprises. 

The 19 year-old Marseille forward who has been in form this season will join his brother Andre Ayew in the side that will travel to South Africa in the new year for the pre Nations Cup camping.
 
Ayew's form for Marseille this season led to massive calls for his inclusion but like a few other players would have to work their way into a final 23.
 
He will be battling for a slot among the strikers which includes South Korea based Derek Asamoah and Prince Tagoe.
 
Tagoe's poor goal scoring form for Ghana has led to intense criticism but Stevanovic insist his work rate merits a place. 
 
The top goal scorer in the Glo League, Emmanuel Baffour of New Edubiase, is also in the side following his haul of eleven goals in eleven games. 
 
John Boye of Stade Rennes makes a surprise entry in defence while Masahudu Alhassan who plays for the reserve side of Italian Serie A side Genoa has also been included. 
 
The player would arrive in South Africa on January 7 and stay there until January 19 before travelling for their Nations Cup campaign. 
 
During that period they will play top South Africa side Kaiser Chiefs and Bafana Bafana. 
 
Ghana is in group D of the Nations Cup with Botswana, Guinea and Mali.
