David Sullivan has made it crystal clear to every top club in the world that our hero Dimi Payet is simply not for sale.

Fears have not unnaturally grown among Hammers fans after an epic performance in the opening Euro 2016 clash between France and Romania that the midfield magician could be on hs way to anywhere from Manchester to Madrid.

However, choosing to respond to ClaretandHugh, David has exclusively sent a message to all the world’s chairmen and managers that they need not bother picking up their phones.

Agreeing that Dimi’s performance was quite out of this world last night (Fri) he then snapped: “It’s as simple as this – we are not selling him – not at any price.

“West Ham United is building a team around Dimi Payet – he will not be moving anywhere and that is that.”

The news will come as a massive boost for fans who can now sit and enjoy the remainder of the tournament knowing the chairman has spoken.
