West Ham Star Dimitri Payet Hints at Hammers Exit in Interview With French TV

Published on: 05 November 2016

West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet has hinted at a potential exit after the club's disappointing start to the season.


In an interview with French television showTelefoot, Payet revealed that he has "closed the door to nothing" when quizzed on his future at the club.


The Frenchman has become something of a talisman since joining West Ham from Marseille last year, but has been unable to prevent a slow start to the campaign.

Since the move to the Olympic stadium, the Hammers have found life difficult, currently sitting in a lowly 16th place in the Premier League standings.


Still, Payet has created five goals and scored twice so far, and he's expressed his discontent with the season to date.


"We've had a very poor start. Leave in January? I'm asking other questions right now but I've closed the door to nothing," he said.


"Until now, I always chose my clubs depending on the sports project. I work like that. Until I can play at a level like this, it will be the case.

"Go to PSG or Marseille? For now, they have not come to me, so I do not ask myself."


Payet signed a five-and-a-half year contract in February, although if some of France's biggest clubs come calling he may be tempted to move. Especially considering he is approaching the latter stages of his careerat the age of 29.


He was unable to inspire his teammates to victory in their last outing, Stoke holding West Ham to a 1-1 draw at the Olympic Stadium.
