Report: West Ham United linked with a move for Dimitri Payet as insider and fans react

According to French outlet L’Equipe, West Ham United have registered an interest in bringing back French midfielder Dimitri Payet from Marseille.

The 32-year-old spent 18 months with the Hammers, scoring 15 goals in 60 games, before forcing a return to the Ligue 1 club in January 2017.

West Ham are currently short of creativity in the middle of the park, with Brazilian midfielder Anderson out injured, and boss David Moyes claimed after last night’s 4-1 loss at Leicester City that he could look to bring in a creative player.

Payet has scored eight goals in 19 appearances for Marseille this season and is currently valued at around £13 million.
