Report: West Ham United close to Andre Ayew deal

West Ham United are reportedly close to securing the signature of Swansea City attacker Andre Ayew.

The Ghana international hit 12 Premier League goals for Swansea during the 2015-16 campaign after making the move to Wales on a free transfer last summer.

Earlier this month, Swans boss Francesco Guidolin said that he 'hopes' to be able to keep the 26-year-old this summer, but according to The Sun, Ayew is closing in on a £16m move to West Ham.

The Hammers, who have been linked with a number of new forwards, lost 2-1 to Slovenian outfit NK Domzale in the first leg of their third qualifying round tie in the Europa League on Thursday night.
