West Ham co-owner David Gold has suggested they won't consider selling wantaway midfielder Dimitri Payet.

Gold wrote for whufc.com: "I am saddened by the recent revelations that Dimitri Payet wants to leave West Ham United.

"We have met all of his requirements since he joined and we committed long-term to him when we gave him a new five-year contract back in February 2016, so this is hugely disappointing.

"We have made it clear that he is not for sale and we want to see some loyalty from him, after Slaven, the players and all the fans have given him so much support.

"We gave Dimitri the opportunity to play in the best league in the world when he wasn't in the France team and a platform that has helped him become one of the best players in Europe.

"Slaven gave him the confidence to excel in the Premier League and he got back into the France team due to his impressive form at West Ham United.

"He signed a long-term contract last year and we want him to honour that."
