The Sun have made up the Dimitri Payet interview – agent

According to Dimitri Payet’s agent, Jacques Olivier Auguste, the interview that the English newspaper The Sun have released claiming that the French international is speaking to them is entirely fabricated.

The player’s agent spoke exclusively to our colleagues at Daily Mercato and had the following to say:

“I am surprised by this information because Dimitri has not done an interview with any media outlet. The only thing that is certain is that he is enjoying his holidays that he deserves and he is licking the wounds caused by the EURO 2016 final defeat. So he is only thinking about recharging at the moment. These declarations are pure inventions in the imagination of a journalist. This deserved a response.”

The Sun claimed that Dimitri Payet exclusively told them the following:

“I’m 100 per cent staying at West Ham, I love the club. I can tell the Hammers fans that.”
