Andre Ayew left West Ham United to join Swansea City last month.
Ayew left West Ham to join Swansea City in the January transfer window, and he got his revenge on his former club soon after.
Swansea ran out 4-1 winners over West Ham recently, leaving David Moyes’ side looking nervously over their shoulders.
The Swans have now leapfrogged West Ham in the Premier League table.
But Ayew believes that the Hammers will have the quality to remain in the top flight.
“To be honest all I was looking out for was the three points because it was very awkward playing against a team of players I was training with a couple of weeks ago,” he said.
“West Ham United have got great players and I am certain that they will find a way out of the situation they are in but we have a job and that is to keep Swansea City up.
Despite Ayew’s confidence, West Ham fans are far more concerned that they could be dragged into the bottom three.
Moyes sparked an initial improvement, but they have been in poor form more recently.
West Ham were beaten 3-0 by Burnley in their most recent outing, and the atmosphere at the London Stadium turned toxic.
West Ham have now gone away to Miami for some warm-weather training over the international break.
The Hammers are next in action against Southampton, when they will be looking to put distance between themselves and the drop zone.
