Dimitri Payet is losing out on £25,000-a-match appearance money at West Ham United as the club considers a complaint to Fifa alleging Marseille have unsettled the French international who has said he does not want to play for them again.

It emerged that Payet’s car had been vandalised outside his home in Essex – a brick was apparently thrown through a window – with the 29-year-old remaining excluded from the squad for Saturday’s Premier League fixture away to Middlesbrough.

Having missed last week’s match against Crystal Palace it means that Payet has lost £50,000 in appearance money already as he attempts to push through his return to Marseille who have had two bids – the latest of £22 million – rejected by West Ham. Nevertheless he is still being paid more than £100,000-a-week despite his apparent refusal to play or submit a transfer request.

West Ham are exasperated by the situation and believe that Marseille have made matters worse in the way they have attempted to conduct the transfer and knowing that Payet’s wife and children have returned to France.
