West Ham legend Tony Cottee insists there's no reason to sell Dimitri Payet.

Under the regime of David Gold, David Sullivan and Karren Brady, West Ham have been transformed and, for Cottee, that means the end of the “selling club" reputation.

“That is what West Ham have been in the past," Cottee told the Sunday Mirror.

“But those days are gone. Long gone.

“The days when the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and Glenn Johnson and Jermain Defoe HAD to be sold are long gone."
