# Ayew off to join West Ham United and his brother?

Jordan Ayew could be on his way out of Villa Park amid interest from Premier League side West Ham.

The [Birmingham Mail](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-brom-transfer-news-rumours-11722917) report that the Ghanian could be on his way to the Hammers where his brother Andre, recently signed from Swansea City for £20 million.

A move to West Ham would see the Ayew brothers link up with each other for the first time since they both played in the French top flight with Marseille. The [Stoke Sentinel](https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/stoke-city-west-brom-miss-out-on-another-target-to-leave-saido-berahino-in-limbo/story-29596734-detail/story.html)suggest it could be a season-long loan.

Aston Villa owner Dr Tony Xia has reiterated numerous times that Ayew would not be leaving Villa Park this summer despite rumoured interest.

It would surely be a huge blow for the Villans if Ayew was to leave to link up with his brother at West Ham United.

West Bromwich Albion were said to also have a genuine interest in Jordan Ayew.

**Opinion of Matt Lynch**

I can’t honestly see Dr Tony Xia tweeting numerous times about Jordan Ayew staying without some intent behind it. He has publicly said he would be staying so I trust that we will not be losing Jordan Ayew this summer.

It does concern me though to a degree as the lure to link up with your brother in London may be a big one and he could potentially force a move.
