West Ham manager Slaven Bilic confident fit-again Andre Ayew will rediscover his sharpness
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic believes Andre Ayew will get his scoring element with more games after he drew blank in the side’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City over the weekend.
The 26-year-old was making only his second start for the Hammers who dropped two points at home.
The Ghana international played for 63 minutes and manager Slaven Bilic the Ghanaian needs time to regain his predatory form.
The 26-year-old was deployed as a lone striker, and played 63 minutes at the Olympic Stadium.
‘He [Ayew] is only just come back from a long injury,” Bilic told his club’s official website.
“He’s a great player and like any player, he needs time to hit his form again.
‘It was hard for Ayew, because we were not coming into the situations [high up the pitch] in the first half, so he was dropping into midfield.
‘He was one of our top signings, if not our top signing, and it’s his position, whether he plays there by himself, in a pair or around the striker.
“He can cover all those positions.’
