Ghana vice captain Andre Ayew has joined West Ham for a club record fee of £20.5million.

The versatile attacker put pen to paper on a four yeal deal which sees him move from Welsh side Swansea after an impressive year.

Ayew, who will once again play with Dimitry Payet after both men played under Marcelo Bielsa in Marseille, is relishing the opportunity to play for the Hammers.

“I am very proud and happy to be at this magnificent Club. I am happy to be playing for these fans and I hope to make the people very happy here,” he told West Ham’s official website.

“The Club have a lot of ambition and have a great manager. They want to become a bigger Club every year and with the new Stadium and a new training ground, you can feel they are moving onto another level and I want to be part of this project.

“I want to train hard, do my job and show that I deserve to play for West Ham United. I want to give back to the manager and the fans the confidence they are showing me.”

Dede could make his Premiership debut at Stamford Bridge just like he did with Swansea 12 months ago.
