Brady: I would not sell Payet for any price

West Ham CEO Karren Brady admits that the club will have to sell Dimitri Payet but claims that she would personally make a stand and refuse to let him leave.

The Frenchman has effectively gone on strike, refusing to either train or play for the Hammers after they turned down a £20m offer from Marseilles.

“With this attitude I suppose that probably sooner rather than later he will be on his way,” Brady told The Sun.

“We have already made him our highest-paid player but there has been plenty of evidence recently of his lost motivation.

“We will carry on trying to keep him, of course, but his attitude will affect the whole team unless it changes radically.

“Personally I would not sell him for any price.

“After all if every player did not respect the validity of their contract, the result would be chaos.”
