West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has defended Andre Ayew on social networking site Twitter.

Responding to criticism of the 27-year-old winger by a West Ham fan, Gold posted the following message on Twitter:

Ayew joined West Ham from Premier League rivals Swansea City in the summer of 2016.

According to The Guardian, the Hammers had to pay the Swans a transfer fee of £20.5 million in order to secure the services of the Ghana international.

The 27-year-old winger has scored one goal and created four chances in 12 Premier League appearances so far this season.

A long-term injury has prevented Ayew from playing regularly for the Hammers this season.

Perhaps West Ham fans will not see the best of the former Marseille star in the final months of the season, but he is certainly going to be a hugely important player for Slaven Bilic’s side during the 2017-18 campaign.
