Payet has been slashed overnight from 5/1 to 2/1 to make a return to Marseille.
After a fantastic debut season at West Ham, Dimitri Payet has struggled to replicate the form that won him the club’s player of the season award. Payet has consistently been linked with a move away from London over the past two transfer windows even though he signed a new contract in January last year. Overnight the odds have been slashed from 5/1 to 2/1 that he’ll make a return to Marseille.
Marseille are now managed by Rudi Garcia and the club was brought by American business owner Frank McCourt in August 2016. The club want to get back to winning ways and the new owner has promised fans that they will provide a threat to PSG over the coming years. They look poised to make a move for several players in the January transfer window to help them achieve Champions League football next season.
They currently sit in sixth place, 14 points behind leaders Nice and will need to improve quickly if they are to qualify for the Champions League next season.
The Hammers have been firm in stating they aren’t willing to listen to any offers for their French playmaker but reports in France claim Payet wants to return to Marseille.
