The 27-year-old joined the Hammers for a club record fee of 20.6 million pounds last season, but he has failed to replicate the form that compelled Slaven Bilic to break bank for his services from Swansea City.

Reports have emerged in England that David Moyes the new coach of West Ham would let Andre Ayew leave the club even at a lower fee to free his wage bill to make space for new addition to augment other areas they are lacking quality.

Meanwhile, the deputy Ghana skipper has been linked with his former side Swansea, a transfer that would see him reunite with his junior brother Jordan Ayew.
