West Ham United are eager to finalise their pursuit of Dimitri Payet by the end of the week.

The Boleyn Insider blog reports that the east London club want to resolve their move for the Marseille winger, one way or another, come Friday.

28-year old France international Payet is the subject of a reported £14million bid from the Hammers but it remains to be seen whether or not Marseille are interested in selling.

More recent reports suggest that the French club have offered the former Nantes, Saint-Etienne and Lille midfielder a two-year extension on his current contract with improved terms in a bid to keep him at the Stade Velodrome.
