Star agent urges West Ham to dump Payet to reserves

Former Premier League star Ian Harte says West Ham should dump Dimitri Payet to the reserves.

The France international refused to play for the Hammers last week.

Harte - who is now a football agent following his retirement - has urged Slaven Bilic to put Payet out in the cold.

“After the season he had last year he was saying: 'I want to be at West Ham for a long time'," Harte told Goals on Sunday.

“West Ham gave him a long contract and put their faith in him but he hasn't been the same player since coming back from the European Championships.

“What I would do is put him in with the youth team and let him rot there until he sorts his attitude out."
