But in a recent interview with the local media, he disclosed that he has been neglected and the money promised him after winning the World Cup is yet to be received.

This courted the attention of Ayew, who was captain of the triumphant team in Egypt, to make a cash donation to the manager.

The money was presented to Mr Tetteh by the mother of the player, Maha Ayew and his publicist Fifii Tackie.

The former Black Stars assistant coach thanked the player and hopes to meet him when he returns from Europe during the summer break.

The Black Stars captain joined Nottingham Forest in the winter transfer window after leaving Al Sadd.

Ayew worried about Atsu's whereabout

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew is praying for the safety of compatriot, Christian Atsu who has been trapped under rubble for a week following an earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

The Hatayspor winger is yet to be found after a 7.7 magnitude tremor hit the region of Hatay last Monday.

Atsu had scored the winner in the game between his club and Kasimpasa hours before disaster struck, leaving thousands dead and many missing.

Ayew reveals why he joined Nottingham Forest

Andre Ayew has revealed that his relationship with Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper influenced his decision to choose the Reds over Everton.

The 33-year-old reportedly held talks with the Toffees but decided to join Nottingham Forest at the eleventh hour.

Ayew signed a six months deal to return to the English Premier League after leaving Qatari champions Al Sadd.
