Jordan Ayew’s loan to Sochaux seems to have surprised some commentators, and he is already facing skepticism regarding his abilities. Jérôme Rothen expressed doubts about Ayew’s technical and physical abilities to succeed at Olympique de Marseille, while Olivier Rouyer was not convinced and hoped Ayew could score goals. Daniel Bravo acknowledged Ayew’s potential as a center forward but emphasized the need for improvement. Despite the criticism, Ayew has the support of his new coach at Sochaux.
