Ghana midfielder Andre �Dede� Ayew will wear the number 10 jersey at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
The 22-year--old has been officially handed the jersey on a permanent basis after Udinese midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah informed the Ghana Football Association (GFA) that he is no longer interested in the No. 10 shirt due to personal reasons.
Asamoah was given the jersey after former Black Stars captain, Stephen Appiah, retired from international football after the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa.
It is reported that Asamoah has now demanded for the number 20 jersey which is the same number he uses with the Bianconeri .
The development means Ayew will now use the same jersey number his father, Abedi Pele, used whiles playing for the Black Stars.
