1 Dimitri Payet in action for West Ham

Real Madrid will wait until after Euro 2016 before deciding on whether to bid for West Ham talisman Dimitri Payet.

The Frenchman enjoyed a stellar campaign for the Hammers, scoring 12 goals in 38 appearances including a handful of sublime free-kicks.

Payet’s form has been rewarded with a call-up to the France squad for this summer’s tournament and Real scouts will be present at all of the host nation’s games to keep an eye on the 29-year-old.

According to Le 10 Sport, Real are planning to offload James Rodriguez this summer and view Payet as the ideal candidate to replace the Colombian.

Payed signed a new contract with West Ham this year as the club tried to play down any rumours linking him with a move away from east London.

But the lure of playing in the Champions League for Real could persuade Payet to force through a move if the Spanish giants firm up their interest with a bid in July.
