Report: Payet flies to France for medical

Sky Sports are claiming Dimi Payet is flying to France to complete a medical saying that a deal has been done for £25m with Marseille.

Just after 11am on Sunday Sky reported: “West Ham have agreed a deal to sell Dimitri Payet to Marseille for £25m, according to Sky sources. Payet is currently travelling to France for a medical to complete the transfer to the Ligue 1 club. The fee for the player is understood to be £25m and the acceptance of the deal brings to an end a long-running and occasionally controversial transfer saga”

Yesterday a senior club source ClaretandHugh that the Hammers rejected a £24m offer plus add-ons with our source telling us they told Marseille “It’s not enough – come back with something better.”

It is possible the £25m fee is just the initial fee and doesn’t include any add-ons but we are attempting to verify the Sky report with various sources and will update this story again later as soon as we know more.
