Ki has been linked with a move to West Ham as part of a swap deal.

Sky Sports have claimed West Ham United have enquired over the availability of including Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-yueng in a deal that will see Andre Ayew return to the Liberty Stadium – but West Ham fans are not impressed.

Swansea have offered West Ham a huge £18million to re-sign Ghana international Ayew, who left the Swans in the summer of 2016 to move to east London. However, the Hammers want to recuperate the entire £20million they paid for him.

It is reported that West Ham will allow the former Marseille attacker to move to Swansea if West Ham’s valuation of £20million is met, but David Moyes has another bargaining tool up his sleeve.

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.

Moyes is desperate to sign a central midfielder this summer, with moves for Joe Allen, Harry Arter, Jonjo Shelvey and Morgan Schneiderlin failing thus far. Now, 88-time South Korea international Ki is the latest name to be considered.

West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to give their verdict on the Swansea set-piece specialist, with the majority in agreement that the 29-year-old’s stuttering Premier League form is not good enough for the Hammers.

One fan described Ki as “pony”, while another stated “we really are desperate”.
