Moyes shuts down talk of Payet return to West Ham
David Moyes says Marseille attacker Dimitri Payet won't be rejoining West Ham this month despite rumours to the contrary.
Payet starred for the Hammers between 2015 and 2017, scoring 15 goals during a season and a half with the club while becoming a fan favourite.
In January 2017, however, Payet went on strike to force a return back to his home country, which he eventually sealed with a £25 million move to Marseille.

Earlier this week, L'Equipe reported that West Ham were exploring a potential return for Payet as the club battles relegation this season.
West Ham boss Moyes, though, has denied that his side have had any discussions regarding a return for Payet.
