Marseille coach Garcia tightlipped on move for West Ham attacker Payet

Olympique Marseille manager Rudi Garcia is tightlipped on a move for West Ham attacker Dimitri Payet.

Payet does not intend on playing for West Ham again after the club refused to let him go back to Marseille, who he played for between 2013 and 2015.

But Garcia would only say that speaking about players contracted to other clubs was wrong.

He said ahead of the French side's clash with Monaco at the Stade Velodrome: "When players are under contract, you must respect that.

"I do not talk to you about this, but the coach of Marseille only talks about Monaco.

"We will only talk about players when they come to us, whether it's Lionel Messi or Dimitri Payet."
