Jordan Ayew ended his seven-month-long Twitter hiatus with a heartful message to his dad on his birthday.

Black Stars legend Abedi Ayew Pele turned 55 on Tuesday, November 5 and was celebrated widely on social media by fans, journalists and players.

One message to the former national team captain would have meant more to him than most, as it came from his last born, Jordan Ayew.

Jordan, whose last two tweets prior to Tuesday were in March and then even further back in 2018, posted a picture of himself as a kid, being pushed in a three-wheeler by his father.

“Happy birthday to my idol, Number one Maestro! Love you and may Allah give you many more years!” he tweeted in addition.

The Crystal Palace forward is the last of Abedi’s four children and the third to have taken up football like their father, after Ibrahim Ayew and Andre Ayew.
