West Ham United striker Andre Ayew has commented on his upcoming return to fitness during a trip to his Ghanaian homeland.

The Black Stars attacker joined West Ham in the summer from Swansea City in an attempt to add some goals to the Hammers attack.

Unfortunately, that plan quickly fell by the wayside.

Ayew picked up a serious thigh injury on his debut with the club and has not featured for the club since.

He is currently in Ghana along with West Ham striker Ashley Fletcher and medical director Stijn Vandenbroucke as part of a sponsorship tour and is quoted by Sports World Ghana as having this positive message to say about his injury recovery:

“I’m very hopeful of a return soon. I don’t know when I will be fit but am certain that I will be back sooner than later”.

West Ham have certainly been struggling without his presence this season.

The club are currently at the wrong end of the Premier League table and a lack of striking options is certainly proving a problem for Slaven Bilic’s men once again.

Ayew will hopefully be back in action soon, as he proved at Swansea last term that he can be a potent threat in the Premier League.

At the moment, that is something West Ham need.
