West Ham United are reportedly open to selling Andre Ayew this month.

West Ham United struggled past Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday night, sneaking into the Fourth Round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 extra time win.
After drawing 0-0 with the League One side in the first game of their FA Cup Third Round tie, the Hammers were back at the London Stadium for the replay on Tuesday night.
Whilst David Moyes’ men were expected to coast through, they actually got taken all the way to extra time, before Reece Burke snatched the winning goal.
After thrashing Huddersfield Town 4-1 over the weekend, manager Moyes won’t be pleased with how his side performed – and one player may have squandered a chance to save his West Ham careeer.
Forward Andre Ayew served up a dismal performance, receiving huge criticism from fans after the game, and his poor display saw him substituted after 69 minutes in favour of Marko Arnautovic.
The Ghanaian has simply failed to live up to expectations since his 2016 move from Swansea City, and whilst he has notched three goals in 18 games this season, his all-round play has been disappointing.
The Daily Star recently reported that West Ham are open to offers for Ayew this month, and his performance against Shrewsbury surely won’t change Moyes’ mind to let him leave in the coming weeks.
With Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini thriving and Michail Antonio on his way back to fitness, Ayew looks to be increasingly expendable – and if a good offer comes in, it would be little surprise to see West Ham sell him.
