West Ham reject Swansea's £14m bid for Andre Ayew

Swansea City have had a bid worth up to £14m with add-ons rejected by West Ham United for their former forward Andre Ayew.

This is because the Hammers value the deputy Ghana captain at £20m and will not sell for anything less, although they are willing to let go of him. This, despite being short of options up front after Andy Carroll injured his ankle this week.

Ayew left the Liberty Stadium in August 2016 for the Hammers, who paid close to £20m for the player who had scored 15 times in his debut Premier League season.

But has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at West Ham since he joined.

He has scored 12 goals in 50 appearances for Hammers, but this season he has managed three top-flight goals in 18 appearances.
