West Ham discuss Ayew-Valencia swap with Swansea

West Ham have discussed the possibility of a player-exchange deal with Swansea for Andre Ayew and Enner Valencia, according to the Daily Mail.

Club insider ExWHUEmployee first revealed that West Ham would look into a possible swap deal for Ayew earlier this week.

The Hammers tried and failed to sign Ayew last summer when he was available on a free transfer after his contract with Marseille expired, but the Ghanaian opted for a move to South Wales and a mega pay-day.

However, one year on and the Hammers are back in for the versatile attacker who can play on the left-wing as well as through the middle.

It is thought Ayew could be had for as little as £14m this summer with both Chelsea and Liverpool also in the running for his services.

Given that Swansea are interested in Enner Valencia and the Hammers are looking for a similar fee, the idea of a swap deal has now been raised and is being discussed.
