West Ham are this morning reported to have given 24-hour protection after”his windows were egged by angry Irons fans.
According to The Sun the incident took place last week although apparently the player was in France considering his next move in a short term future that looks bleak.
There is absolutely no way back for the midfielder who has been exiled to the under 23s by Slaven Bilic – a situation that could last until summer should Marseilles not meet the Hammers asking price of £30 million.
Payet is the number one hate figure among supporters but a club source said: “Despite what is going on between Payet and the club, players should not be at risk in their own homes.”
Fans have created a new anti-Payet song and sprayed walls at the club’s London Stadium as they continue to make their feelings known at his behaviour.
