West Ham have agreed a £25million deal with Marseille for the transfer of Dimitri Payet
Payet is expected to sign for Marseille on Sunday after the French club reached an agreement with West Ham over his transfer. It is understood the France international will take a £25,000 wage cut from his £125,000-a-week salary at West Ham to secure the switch.
The 29-year old is in France and is expected to be unveiled in the next 24 hours with a view to him figuring in the squad to face Lyon on Tuesday.
West Ham have signed Robert Snodgrass from Hull and remain in talks over Scott Hogan at Brentford.
The arrival of Hull City midfielder Snodgrass at the London Stadium means West Ham no longer have any interest in trying to hold 29-year-old Payet against his will and both clubs are keen to get a final deal in place.
West Ham have turned down two bids from Marseille for Payet but now expect the move to happen with a fee of £25m plus £5m in add-ons.
Payet told West Ham he no longer wanted to play for them earlier this month and has been training with their U23s.
His family had already returned to France.
