Ayew told West Ham's official website: "It was very frustrating the start I had here. I think when you come, you have good intentions and want to help the squad.
"Then you get a really bad injury, and even when I got back I still had some pains and I was playing through the pains.
"I was out for two months or maybe three. I knew if I didn't get injured again, the pain would go and now I'm much, much better and I can help West Ham."
