West Ham United have announced the signing of Andre Ayew from Swansea City for a club-record fee of £20.5m.
The 26-year-old Ghana international has signed a three-year deal to move to the London Stadium with the option of a further two years, seven days before the Hammers' 2016/17 Premier League campaign gets under way against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Ayew departs the Liberty Stadium after one season with the Swans, having joined from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille last summer.
He was Swansea's top scorer in the 2015/16 campaign with 12 goals in 34 Premier League appearances. View more Ayew stats here.
“I am very proud and happy to be at this magnificent Club," he told whufc.com after signing. "I am happy to be playing for these fans and I hope to make the people very happy here.
“The Club have a lot of ambition and have a great manager. They want to become a bigger Club every year and with the new Stadium and a new training ground, you can feel they are moving onto another level and I want to be part of this project."
West Ham have now made eight senior signings in the summer transfer window, with Slaven Bilic strengthening his squad for the second time today having earlier completed the signing of left-back Arthur Masuaku from Olympiacos.
The east-London club narrowly lost out to Italian champions Juventus on Sunday as they continued their 2016/17 preparations ahead of next Monday's Premier League fixture against Chelsea. (See: Chelsea v West Ham).
