da dobrowin: Since it was revealed on Thursday that Dimitri Payet has told West Ham United that he wants to leave, transfer speculation has been rife over the Frenchman’s future.
da bet nacional: Manager Slaven Bilic revealed to the media in his press conference that their star man is refusing to play and will not be welcomed back into the fold until he changes his attitude.
Bilic also claimed that the board will not sell, but clubs are expected to test the Hammers’ resolve, with The Sun reporting that Chelsea are planning to use the £60m they received from selling Oscar to launch a bid of their own.

Antonio Conte has a few holes to fill following the departures of Oscar and John Obi Mikel to the Chinese Super League, but whether Payet ends up in West London remains to be seen.
The playmaker only signed a new contract last February, which does not expire until 2021, so West Ham are in a relatively strong negotiating position.
After news emerged that Chelsea are potential suitors of Payet, fans took to Twitter to give their thoughts.
