The West Ham attacker will be hoping to replicate his display against Leicester.
West Ham United face Everton away tonight, with manager David Moyes becoming increasingly familiar with the players that he has at his disposal.
Andre Ayew missed Moyes’ first game in charge – the 2-0 defeat away to Watford – through illness but the attacker returned to the fray as a substitute in the 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City last week and produced an encouraging display as he made good use with his pace and directness.
Given the spirit that West Ham showed against Leicester, Moyes may feel rather reluctant to make many alterations to his starting line-up for tonight’s game.
However, even if he is named amongst the substitutes again Ayew is still capable of making a major impact as a substitute.
Everton have been especially vulnerable defensively so far this season – they have conceded 28 goals in the Premier League, more than any other side in the division.
Ayew, if he is brought on, will be looking to take full advantage of what is likely to be a tiring defence in the closing stages of the game.
Moyes is working out how to make the best use of his squad and he could soon come to the conclusion that Ayew, for now at least, is most effective as an impact player.
