Dimitri Payet Played Big Part In My Transfer- Andre Ayew

 
Andre Ayew says his close friendship with Dimitri Payet played a big part in his decision to join West Ham. The 26years old joined the Hammers from Swansea in a £20.5m deal on Tuesday, becoming the club's record signing after eclipsing the £15m they paid to sign Andy Carroll from Liverpool in 2013.

Payet, who scored nine goals in 30 Premier League appearances last season, played with Ayew for Marseille in Ligue 1 and the new West Ham signing was not surprised by Payet's impressive campaign.

Ayew said “We have a very good relationship, he's a friend, I'm happy to be in the same squad as him. He's a great player, he has great quality. I'm not surprised with what he did last season because I even know he is going to do more this season, he has the quality to do more. With him, and all the other guys who have come in, with Feghouli, I had to take my time, have a discussion with the manager, he made me understand what he wanted. I knew that this club is a very popular club, has a lot of ambitions, wants to get to another level and I want to be part of that project.”
