West Ham United forward Andre Ayew is wanted by Swansea City.
According to Sky Sports, West Ham United are sticking to their £20million valuation on forward Andre Ayew, despite an £18million bid from Swansea City.
The Hammers are expected to be in the market for more additions after signing Joao Mario on loan from Inter Milan last week, but some players may have to leave.
Diafra Sakho joined Rennes on Monday, and another forward could be on his way out as Swansea City attempt to re-sign Andre Ayew from David Moyes’ men.
It’s just 18 months since Swansea sold Ayew to West Ham after his impressive 12-goal campaign in 2015-16, but they are now attempting to lure him back to the Liberty Stadium.
Sky Sports now report that Swansea are offering £18million for his signature, though West Ham are holding out for the £20million they paid to sign the Ghanaian in 2016.
Swansea are therefore just £2million away from bringing Ayew back to the club, but the report does note that West Ham have also discussed a potential swap deal for the 28-year-old.
It’s stated that West Ham have asked about including Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng in the deal, in what would be something of a surprise move despite Moyes’ desire to bring in another midfielder.
The South Korean ace has been in and out of the Swansea side this season with just nine starts to his name, but West Ham seemingly feel he could make an impact at the London Stadium – and it remains to be seen whether Swansea are open to such a deal.
