West Ham boss Bilic expecting impact from record signing Ayew

“I want to train hard, do my job and show that I deserve to play for West Ham United”.

West Ham will open their league campaign with a London derby against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Monday.

Payet, 29, was linked with a move to Real Madrid after his displays for France helped them reach the final of Euro 2016.

‘That shows me as much as the new stadium – even more – because West Ham has always been labelled as a club that has to sell our best players. “But we’ve kept Dimi and we showed everyone that the club is serious”, he added.

Slaven Bilic has completed the free transfer signings of Norwegian Havard Nordtveit, Algerian winger Sofiane Feghouli and Manchester United starlet Ashley Fletcher while Gokhan Tore has arrived on loan from Besiktas.

Slaven Bilic is confident Andre Ayew will have a major impact on West Ham United in his debut season with the club.

Bilic and the club’s hierarchy have made no secret of their ambition to compete with the biggest sides in the Premier League following their move to the London Stadium.

“He is an worldwide, he is he captain of Ghana, he is at his best age [26] and he has spent already one year in the Premier League so it is nothing new for him”.

He continued: “we are very good in that” as “the players are good in that they really make new players feel at home after a few days, so I’m sure we can expect some good football from the newcomers straight away.” .
