Olympique Marseille midfielder Dimitri Payet is being linked with a shock return to West Ham.

L'Equipe says West Ham are considering a move to bring Payet back to the club.

The French midfielder played for the Hammers between 2015 and 2017, scoring 12 goals.

He moved to Marseille in January 2017, but could be on his way back to East London to help David Moyes' side steer away from the relegation zone.

In France, Payet has struggled to reach his best levels under coach Andre Villas-Boas this season.
