West Ham are reportedly ready to splurge £6 million on Aston Villa forward Jordan Ayew according to The Daily Mail, which would see Diafra Sakho leave the club.
The current Hammers attacker has caused a stir after refusing to take a place on the team’s bench for the Arsenal clash at the weekend after being dropped and following this up with a foul-mouthed post on social media.
Sakho’s future at the Boleyn Ground is being thrown up in the air as a result, with the latest report suggesting that Ayew could be a replacement for the African attacker.
The versatile Villa attacker has been a rare bright spark for the Premier League’s bottom side and is expected to leave the Birmingham-based club due to their impending relegation to The Championship.
The report suggests that Bilic wants two new forwards at West Ham next season, with Ayew and a big-name addition to spearhead the club’s move to the Olympic Stadium.
