Ayew, 26, signed for Swansea on a free transfer from Marseille in June 2015 and scored 12 goals in his first Premier League season.

“It’s a big honour for me to be part of this club”, he told West Ham’s official website.
“I am very proud and happy to be at this magnificent club”, he said.
Ayew and left-back Arthur Masuaku arrived at the London Stadium today, following Ashley Fletcher, Havard Nordveit, Gokhan Tore, Sofiane Feghouli and Arthur Masuaku in joining the Hammers during the close-season.
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic is confident that a fully fit Andy Carroll can make a huge impact this season.
I hope that he isn’t the marquee striker signing talked about prior to the window because although he is a good player he is not in that bracket of player at the moment. I’ve just got to work hard at training, listen to the staff here, play the games I play, score goals and create chances and hopefully he will pick me. Yet the Croatian boss suggests that once they tie up both deals the Hammers will not do more business, despite recently suggesting that five more players could join them before the end of the transfer window.
West Ham, following on from their success last season, are looking to fortify their attack and have agreed a fee believed to be in the region of £20 million for the former Marseille man.
West Ham may face a battle to hold onto France playmaker Dimitri Payet, though, after his impressive displays in the Premier League and at Euro 2016.
