Ghana's West Ham striker Andre Dede Ayew says he is ready to play whenever coach Slaven Bilic wants him to.
Ayew signed for West Ham from fellow Premiership side Swansea City in a £20 million deal.
The 26-year-old started his West Ham career on a sad note after injuring himself in his debut game against Chelsea.
Ayew made his Premierl League comeback against Everton in 2-1 defeat in last Sunday's Premier League game.
In an interview, Ayew said “The injury feels good and I am working hard. Things are going well and hopefully I can continue like this".
“It is up to the manager when I am ready to start a game but the most important thing is that we continue to work hard and try and win games. When the gaffer needs me I will be ready.
The former Marseille playmaker says he is eyeing all three points when his side welcome Stoke to their grounds saying “We cannot forget the work we have put into the last three games because of one defeat and Everton are a good team".
