• Black Stars captain Andre Ayew dreams of winning the Africa Cup of Nations or even the World Cup with Ghana
• The FIFA U20 World Cup winner will lead the Black Stars to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year
• The four-time African champions last won the continent's biggest price in 1982 with Andre Ayew's father a part of the team

Andre Ayew has revealed his ambition of winning the Africa Cup of Nations or the World Cup with the senior national team before calling time on his Black Stars career.

The 32-year-old Al Sadd forward will lead Ghana to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

And with the clock ticking on his international career, Ayew has disclosed his desire of winning the tournament.

“For myself, to be real, I don’t have personal targets. The only personal target I had— and still have — since I joined the Black Stars was to win a trophy with the team,” Ayew told the Graphic Sports.

“That’s my only target and I’ve been close a number of times (the 2010 AFCON and 2015 AFCON final).

“I won the Under-20 AFCON and won the Under-20 World Cup trophies, but my only target is to win a trophy in the Black Stars jersey, any trophy that I can win — AFCON or the World Cup trophy. That’s my goal, that’s my aim and that’s what I pray and work hard for every day.”

Ghana last won a major silverware in 1982 when the Black Stars won the Africa Cup of Nations with Andre father Abedi Pele a member of the team.

The Black Stars have been close to winning the competition three times, losing on penalties in 1992 and 2015. They also lost to Egypt 1-0 in the final in 2010.

Brazil forward Richarlison believes Ghana has a good team for the World Cup

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Brazil's two-goal hero Richarlison believes Ghana has a good team to make a mark at the World Cup in Qatar in November.

The Tottenham forward netted a first half brace as the five times World Cup winners brushed aside the African side in a rampant display.

Despite the dominant first half display, the Selacaos failed to score in the second half and Richarlison credits that to Ghana's strength as a team.
