Andre Ayew full of praise for Marseille youngsters

Andre Ayew believes that the current crop of Marseille youngsters are the best that French football has to offer.

Andre Ayew has claimed that the current crop of young players in the Marseille squad are the best in French football.

Marcelo Bielsa's youthful side have won plaudits for their exciting brand of football in the Ligue 1 title race this season, and Ayew believes that his teammates are handling the spotlight well.

"There are a lot of young players in the squad but these young players have a lot of quality. I think they are the best young players we can have in France today," the 25-year-old, who is the longest-serving player at the club, told beIN Sports.

"They are proving it on the pitch, because to play for OM there is a lot of pressure from the fans and from all over the town. So I think the young boys are doing really well.

"It's true I've been here for a very long time and for me it's two different generations because I was here with the former generation with guys like [Samir] Nasri, Mamadou Niang, but I feel that these young players really have the power to become great players."

Marseille are currently five points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain with a game in hand ahead of Sunday's meeting with Lens.
