A daily round-up of all the latest West Ham United transfer news…
First up is news of Dimitri Payet once again portraying total non-commitment to the Hammers during an interview with French media outlet RMC, where he failed to deny rumours linking him with a move to Arsenal.
The 29-year-old told RMC Sport:
“I read that Wenger considers me the missing piece of the Arsenal’s game, but he’s never told me that! We conceded five or six at home against them. When you see them playing, as a technical player, you could only have fun in that team.”
Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi
Meanwhile, the Hammers long-term pursuit of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi appears to be ongoing, according to the Sun, with West Ham desperate to bring the Belgian international to the Olympic Stadium on loan in January.
Blues boss Antonio Conte is reluctant to allow Batshuayi to leave though, with a busy month ahead for his side (the Sun).
In other news, West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth winger Max Gradel on loan in January, according to the Sun.
West Ham’s Sofiane Feghouli
And finally, the Daily Mail are reporting that summer signing Sofiane Feghouli is being offered to a whole host of Premier League clubs on loan, after failing to impress during his four months in East London.
He has made just six Premier League appearances for West Ham so far this term, with all of those coming from the bench.
Potential destinations for the Algerian include Crystal Palace, Swansea City and Sunderland.
