West Ham United defender Jose Fonte has heaped praise on teammate Andre Ayew, the Hammers need the Ghanaian badly.
Ayew’s 2016-17 campaign for West Ham has been affected by injuries and the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 27-year-old winger is now back in the team, and Fonte has underlined his importance.
“He is an important player for us, he’s been showing his qualities and hopefully he can keep scoring goals for us and helping, because we need him,” Fonte told West Ham’s official website about Ayew.
Ayew is a very good winger and showcased his quality in the Premier League with Swansea City last season.
The Ghana international has scored four goals and created six chances in 16 league matches for the Hammers so far this campaign.
The former Marseille star could have done better, and perhaps in the coming weeks he will add to his goal-tally.
