Swansea City-owned striker Bafetimbi Gomis has taken to social networking site Twitter to wish Andre Ayew the best of luck at West Ham United.
Ayew recently joined West Ham from Premier League rivals Swansea. As announced on the Hammers’ official website, the Ghana international attacker signed a three-year contract with the London outfit.
The Hammers had to pay the Swans a club-record transfer fee of £20.5 million in order to secure the services of Ayew, who can play as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder.
Gomis, who has joined French club Marseille on a season-long loan deal from Swansea, played with Ayew at the Swans last season.

Ayew enjoyed a good 2015-16 Premier League campaign for Swansea, having joined the Welsh outfit on a free transfer in the summer of 2015.
The former Marseille star scored 12 goals and created 23 chances in 34 Premier League appearances for Swansea last season.
West Ham will kick off their 2016-17 Premier League campaign with a match against Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London on Monday evening.
