West Ham will demand between £35m and £40m for on-strike talisman Dimitri Payet.

Payet is on strike at the Hammers, refusing to play for the club or train, as he attempts to force through a move to former club Marseille this month.

Slaven Bilic said he felt betrayed by the 29-year-old for his attitude after the Hammers rejected a £20m bid from the Ligue 1 side, with their manager Rudi Garcia saying: “Quite obviously I would take him any day of the week.”

The Times say Payet will be fined two weeks wages – around £250,000 in total – after telling the club he is unable to train because of a back injury.

The midfielder signed a new contract with the Hammers last February and was made the best-paid player in their history to keep him at the club until 2021, with the option of a further year.

The newspaper also said that he requested a further wage hike after his Euro 2016 performances, which included three goals and two man-of-the-match displays, but West Ham refused, leading to his dismay with the club this season.
