Noble: There is more to come from Ayew with Hammers

West Ham skipper Mark Noble believes team-mate Andre Ayew’s crucial equaliser against Watford is a timely reminder to fans that he has a lot more to give at the club.

Ayew returned to Hammers duty after representing Ghana at the African Cup of Nations and secured a point that took Slavan Bilic’s side up to ninth in the Premier League.

And Noble insists there is more to come from his Ghanaian team-mate.

He said: “Credit to ‘Dre, because he’s come back and worked hard, he’s great around the squad and he got what he deserved.

“He is a very, very good signing and I knew that when we signed him, but he’s had it tough. I’m pretty sure he’ll stay fit now and get us some more goals.”

But Noble believes his side could have come away from Vicarage Road with all three points had they capitalised in front of goal.

He said: “When you control a game like that and you probably don’t quite get what you deserved, you sit in the changing room afterwards feeling a little bit gutted, if I’m honest.

“The boys played really well away from home, our away form is really good and we’re ninth in the Premier League. It’s looking good and we’re looking like a really good team at the minute.”
