West Ham-bound Payet still holds hope of Marseille stay

Marseille winger Dimitri Payet's move to West Ham United seems to be hanging in the balance.

The France international was believed to be on his way to London for a medical after a £10.7million deal was agreed earlier on Wednesday.

But recent quotes from the player's agent suggest that Payet could still sign an extension with the Ligue 1 club.

Jacques-Olivier Auguste told Eurosport: "The deal is not 100 per cent done but it is basically there. Marseille can still make things happen."

Speaking to another outlet, La Provence, he added: "Nothing is done. Whatever happens will happen very quickly in either direction.

"We are still trying to find a solution for Payet to stay at Marseille. As long as there is still hope of that happening, we will pursue that as much as we can."
