The manager said the midfielder is refusing to play for the club and added: “This team, the staff, we gave him everything.
“We were always there for him, I feel let down by him… I feel angry.
“We have said we don’t want to sell our best players but Dimi Payet does not want to play for us. We are not going to sell him.
