Despite Swansea’s struggles, Ayew managed to score an impressive 12 goals throughout the course of the campaign, and following his exploits it was no surprise whatsoever in seeing a host of clubs expressing their interest in signing the Ghanaian worldwide this summer.
Masuaku has played for France at under-18 and under-19 level and played against Arsenal and Bayern Munich in the Champions League last season.
But Bilic’s desire to secure Ayew’s signature for the second summer in a row proved to be enough to convince the Ghana global his future was in east London.
“The club have a lot of ambition and have a great manager (Slaven Bilic)”.
Andy Carroll insists that he will continue to work hard at West Ham United this season in order to force his way into Sam Allardyce’s England plans.
“uniBank the official bank of the Black Stars, applaud and congratulate Dede Ayew on his transfer to West Ham United”.
‘I want to give back to the manager and the fans the confidence they are showing me’.
“I know what he did last season and he can do even more, so now I’m back with him we’re going to work together with the whole team and do everything possible to make things right”.
West Ham begin their Premier League campaign with a trip to Antonio Conte’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Monday night, before travelling to Romania for a Europa League playoff first leg match against Astra Giurgiu three days later.
As part of West Ham’s stadium opening ceremony, the Bianconeri boss remarked that it was an honour to play in London Stadium, where the 2012 Olympics took place, as part of their pre-season preparations.
