Jordan Ayew, a Ghanaian forward, has been ranked fifth on the list of the most fouled players in Europe’s top 5 leagues, which include the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.
The list was recently revealed, and Ayew’s ranking is based on statistics by DAZN España. Despite a challenging start to the season under former manager Patrick Vieira, Ayew has managed to score four goals with two assists so far, and his most recent goal came in a 4-3 win against West Ham United.
Mattia Zaccagni, Isaac Palazon Camacho, and Teji Savanier are ranked second, third, and fourth, respectively, but all of them are behind Vinicius Junior, who has been fouled a remarkable 110 times – the only player to reach the three-digit mark.
Ayew has been fouled 79 times in the ongoing season and has made a total of 34 appearances in all competitions for Crystal Palace.
With Roy Hodgson taking over as the interim manager until the end of the season, Ayew and his team will face Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, and he will undoubtedly be looking to maintain his impressive performance.
