Olympique Marseille striker Bafetimbi is backing their move for West Ham rebel Dimitri Payet.

Payet has virtually gone on strike to engineer a return to OM this month.

Gomis, on-loan from Swansea City, remarked: "For the mercato, we all hope to have recruits. We need to get stronger on the left side of the defence.

"The club now has the means. The directors will work to fill the gaps in the squad.

"And I'm waiting for Payet with impatience, if he wants to come, it's OK."
