‘Words are not enough’ - Ayew brothers pay heartfelt tribute to Pape Diouf

The Ghana internationals took to social media to write touching tributes to the former Olympique Marseille president

Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have penned an emotional tribute to late Pape Diouf.

The Senegalese, who was a former president of Olympique Marseille, passed away aged 68 on Tuesday due to complications from the coronavirus.

Diouf became the first black president of a first-tier European football club having assumed the position as the Ligue 1 club’s head in 2005.

As the world continues to mourn his passing, the Ayew brothers - sons of the legendary Abedi Pele - who began their professional career at the Stade Velodrome, took to social media to grieve over their mentor’s death.
