West Ham are willing to listen to offers for Andre Ayew.

Andre Ayew of West Ham United warms up ahead of the Premier League match between Huddersfield Town and West Ham United at John Smith's Stadium on January 13, 2018 in Huddersfield, England.

GhanaWeb claim West Ham United attacker Andre Ayew has “his heart set on a move” to former side Ligue 1 Marseille despite another of his old sides remaining interested in the out-of-favour star.

BBC Sport reported that the Hammers have rejected a £14million bid from Swansea City for the 28-year-old, as he struggles to repay the £20million fee he cost West Ham at the start of the 2016-17 season.

The Ghana international is said to be holding out for a move to Marseille, although it remains to be seen if the French outfit will look to raid West Ham for a second time in the space of a year after luring Dimitri Payet back to Marseille a year ago.

Making 50 appearances in total for the Hammers since his move to east London, Ayew has scored just 12 goals with injuries preventing him from gaining any kind of consistency.

His debut for the east Londoners saw him tear his quadricep last season against Chelsea, in what was a sign of things to come for the versatile forward.

It remains to be seen what would be considered an acceptable fee by the Hammers, with 18 months still remaining on Ayew’s current deal at the London Stadium.
