Inter Milan are set for a summer spending spree after new Chinese owners handed the club a £200million boost - and honorary president Massimo Moratti has called on the Italian giants to sign West Ham and France star Dimitri Payet.

Payet has lit up Euro 2016 after a superb debut season with the Hammers, scoring in both of Les Bleus' opening two matches.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, where compatriot Zinedine Zidane is in charge, despite only signing a new five-year deal

But after fresh investment at San Siro - with the Nerazzurri passing into the hands of China’s Suning Commerce Group - Moratti has urged the club to make key reinforcements to the playing staff this summer.

The Hammers have no desire to cash in on their attacking midfielder leave and have refused to give his admirers even a sniff of encouragement by putting a valuation on his head.

However, that hasn't stopped Moratti from voicing his desire to see Payet in the blue and black next season.

“As a fan, I would love to see Payet in an Inter shirt. However, the great champions are currently elusive, you have to be lucky enough to find the right opportunity.

“We are missing 2-3 players to be competitive. The important thing is to have solid players that ensure continuity."

On the club’s takeover, Moratti declared: “My feeling is good for the new group, it seems to me that with [Erick] Thohir there are positives.

"We have to work a lot and we will have some satisfaction.”

The Suning Commerce Group today completed their purchase of a majority stake in Inter, taking 68.55 per cent of the Italian club.

They have pumped £200million into the club's coffers, with an £117million increase in capital and an £83million loan.
