Ghana's Jordan Ayew has been tipped for greater things with Olympique Marseille coach Elie Baup predicting a bright future for the Ghanaian.

The 21-year-old has scored four goals in 13 league appearances so far this term, compared to three in 34 games last season.

And for Baup, it's a sign of improvement as Ayew is set to play a major role for Marseille with Loic Remy just coming back from injury and Andre-Pierre Gignac recovering from a broken foot.

"He has been improving and has a bright future," Baup told a news conference on Friday.

According to Baup, Jordan Ayew could end up as good as Olympique Lyon forward Bafetimbi Gomis, 27, whose treble sank Marseille in midweek.

"I said to myself we can compare him with Gomis, who I knew at the same age," added Baup.

"When I see what Jordan has done, I come to the conclusion they have the same abilities."
