Andre Ayew

British High Commissioner hails Ayew’s new move
Ghana deputy captain Andre 'Dede' Ayew joined West
Ham United for a record fee of £20.5 million from
Swansea City on Monday, signing a four-year
contract which the British High Commissioner to
Ghana Jon Benjamin describes as an excellent
move.

The diplomat, a fan of the Hammers, believes
Ayew’s reunion with his former Marseille pal
Dimitri Payet will constitute a great threat to
opponents in the Premier League.

Both players featured for the French giants
between 2013 and 2015 in Ligue 1.

"I just spoke with Andre Ayew by phone in London
and he can't wait to get stuck in for the
Hammers," Benjamin tweeted.

"I go to bed happy, knowing that my man Andre
Ayew is a Hammer. Now, here's quite a lethal
pairing [Ayew and Dimitri Payet] reunited at West
Ham to rip up the English Premier League this
season. Be afraid, be very afraid! [I] can't wait
for his first goal at the new stadium," he added.

Reacting to claims that he played a major role in
Ayew's decision to join West Ham, Benjamin wrote:
"I wish I had such influence! But, I'm very glad
[that] Andre Ayew is now a Hammer. What a great
signing!"

In his debut season in England, Ayew won the
league's Player of the Month of August, finishing
the season as Swansea's top scorer with 12 goals.
