“It’s time for him [to step up],” Desailly, who spent six years at Chelsea between 1998 and 2004, told FootballmadeinGhana.
“He’s 28 years old now and he has reached a very high level, as well as being quite consistent in his performances.
“We need him to have more hunger. We want him to become a killer.
“You can see in his face that he is not really a killer, but he is showing great ability, and being at Chelsea can bring him to the level that we all know that he can get to because he is a very good player,” he added.
Jordan Ayew’s amazing form has seen him involved in almost 40% of Crystal Palace’s goals this season. Palace currently sit 10th on the English premier league table.
