West Ham FC news: Dimitri Payet’s future in doubt as French ace suggests he is interested in Marseille return

West Ham star Dimitri Payet has refused to rule out a return to Marseille.

The attacking midfielder left the French club for the Hammers last summer and went on to enjoy a sensational first season in England.

He has shown flashes of brilliance this season too despite West Ham struggling near the bottom of the Premier League table and Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for the 29-year-old.

But Payet has now suggested that he could be interested in a move back to his homeland with Marseille, who were recently taken over by billionaire Frank McCourt.

“I am not closing the door to anything. Marseille have a new project which seems interesting,” Payet told SFR Sport.

“Aside from that, we are obviously waiting to see the first few things that the new owners do, but Marseille knows how attached I am to the club.

“When I talk about it, I say the best possible things, because that is what I think, so why not.”
