Pundit Garth Crook believes Andre Ayew completely 'destroyed' West Ham United to send a clear statement to his former club over his early exit.

The Swans hammered the Hammers 4-1 last week to leapfrog them on the Premier League table.

Ayew, 28, put up a superlative performance at the Liberty stadium, providing two assists in the heavy thumping.

And pundit Garth Crook has told BBC Sport that the forward alongside his brother Jordan, made a huge statement against West Ham for letting him go.

“If you’re going to make a statement to the club that has just sold you then playing your part in the four-goal demolition of your former employers is the way to do it,” said Crooks.

“Andre Ayew and his brother, Jordan, absolutely destroyed West Ham. Their father, the former Marseille and Ghana international, the great Abedi Pele, should be very proud of his boys,” he added.
