Ayew emphasized his commitment to the team, stating, “I wanted to come to FCSM because it’s a big challenge and it was the best club for me. I can bring my qualities: speed and scoring. But I’m not Superman even if I will do my best. I’m versatile and I don’t mind playing on the wings. I am available to the coach and the team.”
He clarified that his decision to join Sochaux wasn’t solely influenced by the upcoming World Cup, stating, “Even without the World Cup, I would have made this choice. I’m 22, and I have to play. My family encouraged me to come here, and it was easy to think about it. The FCSM and I made efforts for my arrival. Hervé Renard is a great man and an honest person. I have gotten along very well with him for years. It’s a challenge to fight to stay in Ligue 1. There are still a lot of matches left. You must not let go of anything.”
Jordan Ayew will wear the number 3 jersey at Sochaux.
