Andre Ayew to West Ham: Hammers make £20m bid for forward as Slaven Bilic prepares for life without Diafra Sakho


WEST HAM have launched a £20million bid for Swansea forward Andre Ayew.

The 26-year-old has been tracked by the Hammers throughout the summer and boss Slaven Bilic has stepped up the chase for the Ghanaian in a bid to bolster his attacking options.

It is believed that Ayew is open to a move after Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin changed their style of play.

Ayew started last season in terrific form, winning August’s Premier League Player of the Month, but his form dipped after Guidolin was appointed manager in January.

Bilic is keen on signing a forward with striker Diafra Sakho set to leave the club with Premier League rivals West Brom determined to secure his signature.

Swansea will make a massive profit on Ayew after he joined the club on a free transfer last summer.

West Ham were linked to Ayew, who scored 12 league goals last season, a year ago but bulked at the player’s wage demands thought to be in the region of £75,000-a-week.

Guidolin will be keen to reinvest and eyes Barcelona winger Christian Tello however they face serious competition from Serie A side Fiorentina.
