West Ham boss clearly delighted to see the Hammers star tearing up the Euros as he grabs his second of the tournament

SLAVEN BILIC may have a job keeping Dimitri Payet at West Ham this summer - but the Hammers boss is still his No1 fan.

The French forward was again in sparkling form for his country, as his late curler helped secure the host nation's safe passage to the quarter finals.

And as the West Ham star netted deep into stoppage time, his club boss Bilic celebrated in style on the ITV studio table.

The Croatian looked a little unsteady as he clambered up and celebrated on his knees, sending SunSport columnist Ian Wright into hysterics.

Payet has been heavily linked with a move away from West Ham after a superb first season with the club.

Manchester City have joined the high level chase for the dazzling Frenchman, along with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

Co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan want to build on last season after finishing seventh in the Premier League.

They are so desperate to keep hold of Payet they have not even spoken in public about a figure that it would take for them to part company with him - but it is believed to be around £35million.
