West Ham submit £20m bid for Swansea star Andre Ayew

West Ham have submitted a £20 million bid for Swansea City forward Andre Ayew as they continue to search for a marquee striker signing. 

West Ham coach Slaven Bilic is keen to reinforce his striking options this summer.

The hammers have now turned their attentions to the versatile Ayew, who can play on the wing and through the middle. 

West Ham have matched Swansea’s £20m valuation of the 26-year-old over the last 24 hours, after opting against haggling with their Premier League counterparts. 

However, Swansea are yet to respond to the offer, with the Welsh club set to be without a recognised striker ahead of the new season should Ayew leave. 

Nevertheless, personal terms are believed to have been agreed with the forward, and the club are hopeful of completing a deal in the next week.
