Slaven Bilic has built well on his already strong West Ham side, especially with the signing of Ghanaian forward Andre Ayew.
The Hammers’ record signing scored 12 times in 34 appearances for Swansea last season and was a highlight of their, sometimes lacklustre, season.
Though the former Marseille ace was unfortunate enough to suffer an injury on his debut away at Chelsea on Monday night, the notion of him linking up once more with star turn Dimitri Payet is a mouth watering one.
Technically gifted and with a cool head, the 26-year old will give the club a palpable goal threat.
With his move to East London, we asked Hammers fans what they thought of the player and who they would partner him with in a dream West Ham 5-aside team.
Here are the results…
Adrian
The Spanish shot-stopper has been solid for a strong West Ham side and is an ideal selection for any goalkeeping 5-aside position.
He’s a strong, tall keeper with great concentration and reflexes which prevents the counter-attacking style of a 5-aside match from causing too many problems.
Mark Noble
A committed and driven leader at the centre-mid role.
He anchors the team and covers the dangerous counter-attacks whilst also springing a counter-attack of their own with his key passing ability.
Dimitri Payet
The dangerous Frenchman is an obvious and key point to any West Ham side.
His dangerous finishing from nearly everywhere and anywhere makes him a lethal member of the side in combination with his skill and assisting ability he’s the play maker.
Andre Ayew
The record-signing adds a quick, counter attacking and lethal edge to the 5-aside team, something that is key to this style of game.
Andy Carroll
The big front man brings a lot of strength to the side and the ability to hold the ball up and play it out to other attacking players, something that’s key to work the space in such an enclosed environment.
As well as this, he provides a powerful and lethal shot to finish moves started by Payet and Noble.
What are your thoughts on this side? Would you change Noble for a centre-back? Carroll for Sakho? Let us know what your dream West Ham 5-aside team would be.
