I will be back to my best soon – Andre Ayew

The Black Stars deputy skipper holds high hopes ahead of the start of the season.

The 27-year-old is currently with the Hammers squad on a pre-season tour, as the players get in shape for the upcoming season.

Ayew made just 25 appearances last season following an injury-hit campaign, but finished the season strongly with six goals.

And the former Marseille star believes the Hammers faithful will see the best of him, following a good pre-season.

“Pre-season is something which is very, very important and, for me, I’ve not been able to have a real pre-season for a long time because of the international games,” Ayew told West Ham TV.

“I have always been coming back later, so to start the pre-season with the squad is quite good. I think I’m going to have a month or more with the squad before the pre-season starts so it’s a good opportunity for me to get myself back together and to feel good before the season.”

The deputy Ghana skipper is also optimistic that West Ham United will finish in a respectable position come the end of the season, adding that he hopes to have an injury-free campaign.
