Ghanaian legend Jordan Ayew continues to write his name in the Premier League's history books after reaching another significant milestone
In a remarkable feat that has seen him outshine some of the Premier League's most illustrious names, Jordan Ayew has become a subject of celebration at Crystal Palace.
The Ghanaian forward has reached a significant milestone that places him ahead of legends like Mohamed Salah, Thierry Henry, and Didier Drogba in terms of Premier League appearances.
Ayew's Premier League Journey
Jordan Ayew, at the age of 32, has now clocked 200 appearances for Crystal Palace, a testament to his durability, consistency, and impact on the field. His journey through the Premier League, spanning stints with Aston Villa and Swansea City, has seen him accumulate a total of 284 appearances in the competition.
This remarkable tally surpasses that of Mohamed Salah (252), Thierry Henry (258), and Didier Drogba (254), positioning Ayew in the top 250 players for total Premier League appearances.
Memorable Moments at Crystal Palace
Ayew's time at Crystal Palace has been filled with memorable moments that have endeared him to the fans and solidified his status within the team.
His debut season in 2018-19, initially on loan, saw him making an immediate impact with his pressing, hold-up play, and ability to bring others into play. Notable highlights include his first league goal for Palace in a victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a late winner against Grimsby Town in the FA Cup.
The Ghanaian international made his move to Crystal Palace permanent in July 2019, with a transfer from Swansea City. Ayew's knack for scoring crucial goals was evident in his match-winning performances against Manchester United and West Ham, showcasing his importance to the team.
Record-Breaking Achievements
Ayew's Premier League career has been characterized by his knack for scoring in the clutch moments, with an astonishing 95% of his goals coming in the second half, the highest ratio for any player with over 20 goals in the competition's history.
His contributions have not gone unnoticed, as he has clinched Crystal Palace's Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season, and Goal of the Season awards in his first full season at the club.
With his contract extension until 2025, Jordan Ayew's legacy at Crystal Palace and in the Premier League is secure. His remarkable achievement of surpassing Premier League icons like Salah, Henry, and Drogba in appearances underscores his importance to his club and his enduring quality as a top-flight footballer. Crystal Palace celebrates not just the milestone but the man himself, who has consistently proven to be a key figure for the team both on and off the pitch.
