West Ham have agreed a £25million fee with Marseille for the sale of Dimitri Payet, the Premier League club have announced.
West Ham’s want-away playmaker Payet has moved a step closer to rejoining the French side after the two clubs agreed a fee.
The 29-year-old has expressed his desire to leave the Hammers and has not appeared for Slaven Bilic’s side since refusing to play against Crystal Palace on January 14.
A statement on West Ham’s Twitter page said:
“West Ham United can confirm that a £25m fee has today been agreed for the transfer of Dimitri Payet to Olympique de Marseille.”
