PHOTOS: Andre Ayew mobbed by thousands on visit to Guinea Conakry

Ghana star André Ayew has been in Guinea Conakry in the last 48 hours and was mobbed up by thousands upon arrival.

The West Ham forward, who is on summer holidays, made the trip to the West African nation at the invitation of a long-time friend Ahmed Sekou Camara popularly known as Ahmed of Paris.

'As you know, I usually bring people in. So after Samuel Eto'o and Kader Keita, today I brought in André Ayew who is more than a brother,' Ahmed said Thursday. 'He's been my best friend for almost 12 years.'

'It was a long time ago that we had in mind the idea of coming to Conakry. André Ayew is a very positive, thoughtful young person, who is above average on the sporting level and also in everything that follows. He is as responsible as any other African footballer,' he added.
