Payet set to complete £10.7m West Ham move


The 28-year-old has agreed a five-year deal and on Friday will become Slaven Bilic's second summer signing, and the club's third big-money forward arrival in as many years
West Ham have agreed a £10.78 million deal with Marseille for Dimitri Payet, with the forward flying in to undergo a medical on Thursday, 

The 28-year-old will become Slaven Bilic's second signing since replacing Sam Allardyce, having already secured midfielder Pedro Obiang on a four-year deal from Sampdoria.

Payet has agreed a five-year contract and becomes the yet another high-profile exit from the Ligue 1 outfit, after Swansea City's capture of Andre Ayew, following a failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Goal understands Payet will earn £55,000 a week, becoming one of West Ham's highest earners, and will undergo medical tests on Thursday before an official announcement is made on Friday.

Payet's agent, Jacques-Olivier Auguste, insisted earlier on Wednesday that despite the France international closing in on a move to Upton Park, Marseille remained in a position to extend the player's stay.

However, it is understood that an improved contract offer from Marseille is not forthcoming and Payet will now become West Ham's third big-money forward arrival in as many years, following on from Andy Carroll and Enner Valencia.
