According to L’Equipe via Foot Mercato, Aston Villa striker Jordan Ayew is interested in holding talks with West Ham over a return to the Premier League after hearing of their interest.
West Ham have been searching for a striker all summer and have now turned their attentions to Jordan Ayew after having been turned down by a number of other previous targets.
Carlos Bacca and Alexandre Lacazette are two high-profile names to have rejected West Ham this summer. Now, West Ham are looking at Ayew to come in and lead the line next season.
Ayew was relegated with Aston Villa last season as they finished rock-bottom of the Premier League. The talented striker is now seeking a move back to the Premier League, making West Ham a very attractive prospect for him.
Ayew scored seven Premier League goals in Villa’s side last season, which is a decent return considering the form of the players in and around him throughout the season.
West Ham will, however, have to compete with Ligue 1 side OCG Nice for his signature, as they look to replace Hatem Ben Arfa.
