West Ham United fans will be hoping to see the best of Andre Ayew over the remainder of the campaign.
West Ham United’s Mark Noble in action
Hammers skipper Mark Noble sat down for an interview with the club’s official website and offered high praise for the manner in which summer signing Andre Ayew has managed to return to his peak levels after suffering an injury earlier on in the campaign.
Noble, 29 also shared the advice he told the Ghanaian when he was experiencing tough times earlier on in the campaign.
The 27-year-old former Swansea City man is beginning to establish himself as an important member of Slaven Bilic’s side, after missing the first three months of the season with a thigh injury.
He then spent nearly a month away on duty with his country for the African Cup of Nations.
Ayew has scored two goals in his last four appearances for the club though, and is starting to show the kind of form that convinced Slaven Bilic to pay £20 million to secure his services last summer.

And Noble spoke to WHUFC.co.uk about Ayew’s return to the first-team setup, sharing the advice he gave his teammate regarding the difficulties involved in joining a new club:
“I was speaking to ‘Dre the other day and said ‘Look, when you come to a new club and get injured in your first game and are out for three months, then you come back and you’re away for another month at the African Nations Cup, it’s so hard to get back involved’. Credit to ‘Dre, because he’s come back and worked hard, he’s great around the squad and he got what he deserved.”
Hopefully now that he has returned to full fitness, Ayew can start to showcase his true talents, and help fire West Ham further up the Premier League table.
