David Moyes has confirmed Swansea have lodged a formal bid for Hammer Andre Ayew, but insisted West Ham must bring in replacements before any sale can take place tomorrow on deadline day.
Swansea City has offered West Ham £16m plus a further £2m of add-ons for Ayew. The Hammers rejected an initial offer of a loan for the remainder of the season and an option to buy of £14m earlier this month, and the Welsh club has now returned with a second bid worth £16m plus add-ons.
“We have had a bid from Swansea and we are considering it,” David Moyes told reporters at a post-match conference. “But we need to get players in and until we get players in I am not able to make any decision.”
West Ham paid Swansea City a total £21.7m in total including add-ons for Ayew in 2016 so stand to make almost a £4m loss if the deal goes through.
Swansea just won 3-1 against Arsenal & like Ayew or not he does create space & score goals.
Selling Ayew back to them could end up hurting us & if we sell we should at least get Ki coming the other way. Yes he might not be big name signing but last day & he is a tidy passer CDM w height & some pace & can play further up too so be nice to add some depth bc w our injuries never know.
And worry with point tonight well deserved Moyes been great Mario Chic & of course Noble brilliant & Rice Byran and always Ginge Clutch.
But can they stay for if one goes out 1 has to come in at least & added competition def won’t hurt our midfield.
