Triple Ghana Premier Legaue goal king Dan Owusu wants Olympique Marseille sensational youngster Jordan Ayew dropped from the Black Stars.

Jordan, who turned 20 last Sunday, earned his third international cap for Ghana in the 1-0 loss to Brazil in London is regarded as a great striking potential.

But the legendary Owusu is arguing that the last of the Ayew brothers has not peaked to merit a national team call-up.

"There are a lot of young players in the Black Stars. Adiyiah, Andre and Agyemang-Badu are all young players but I think Jordan is too young for the Black Stars. He should be dropped," he told Accra-based Happy FM.

Jordan earned his debut Ghana call-up in September last year in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Swaziland.

His elder brother Andre is a key member of the Black Stars and half-brother Rahim was on the bench for Ghana at the 2010 Nations Cup and World Cup finals.
