Paris Saint-Germain emerge as favourites to sign West Ham’s Dimitri Payet, with star midfielder refusing to rule out a move from East London
Payet has been a revelation since joining the Hammers in 2015 for around £10million from French side Marseille
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are the new favourites to sign West Ham star Dimitri Payet.
That's according to betting giants Ladbrokes, who have slashed the French midfielder's odds of joining the Ligue 1 outfit from 5/1 to 2/1.
The midfield ace has already stated that he's 'closed the door to nothing' regarding a potential move away from east London.

Favourites to snap up the France international in the summer, Chelsea remain a 7/2 shot but have slipped behind PSG in the betting.
A move to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale at Real Madrid is 5/1, with Manchester United at 7s and a return to Marseille seemingly unlikely at 12/1.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes News said: "The odds have fallen in favour of Payet picking PSG over a move from east to west London."
The French playmaker was linked with a big-money move to Real Madrid over the summer after helping himself to nine goals and 12 assists in his debut Premier League season.
Chelsea and Manchester United have also been credited with showing interest, and Payet has done himself no harm with some fine performances in the new campaign.
And it now appears Payet is weighing up his options ahead of the upcoming transfer window despite penning a lucrative contract earlier this year.
The playmaker will turn 30 at the end of the season and is probably aware he doesn’t have too much longer to secure a move to an elite side.
Payet told Telefoot: “Leave West Ham this winter? I’m asking myself other questions but I’m not closing the door to anything.”
