Man Utd, Arsenal in talks with Payet camp

Manchester United and Arsenal are in contact with West Ham rebel Dimitri Payet.

The Daily Star says the Premier League heavy hitters opened preliminary talks with Payet's camp to see if he'd be interested in a possible move.

Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger are both Payet fans and have been keeping an eye on his availability for months.

Cash-rich clubs from the Chinese Super League have also expressed an interest in luring Payet away from his West Ham hell.

Top Chinese sides are queuing up with mega-bucks offers that could see the 29-year-old quadruple his wages. He's currently earning £125,000-a-week at the London Stadium.

But it's understood Payet has snubbed all interest because his heart is set on Marseille.
