He joined West Ham United for a reported £20.5 million in the summer.
Andre Ayew has told West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic, via The Evening Standard, that he is ready for his first full appearance since returning from injury.
The 26-year-old forward made his comeback from injury in the 2-1 League Cup win over Chelsea at the London Stadium last week.
The Ghana international followed that up with another cameo appearance in Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Everton in what was his first Premier League outing since August.
Ayew, a £20.5 million summer signing from Swansea City, saw his West Ham debut cut short at Chelsea in the Irons’ first game of the league season.
But the former Marseille man has told Bilic that he is ready to begin starting games again as he looks to kick-start his career with the Hammers following his club-record move.
“The injury feels good and I am working hard. Things are going well and hopefully I can continue like this,” he told The Evening Standard.
“It is up to the manager when I am ready to start a game but the most important thing is that we continue to work hard and try and win games. When the gaffer needs me I will be ready.”
West Ham seriously struggled without a recognised goalscorer up front, with Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho also sidelined with injury, but Ayew’s return could and probably should help them shoot up the table now.
Bilic’s side have only won three of their first 10 Premier League games, with the East Londoners sitting 17th in the table – three points clear of the drop zone.
