West Ham have denied a second bid from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille for contract rebel Dimitri Payet.

The bid from Marseille is reported to be £1m higher than their previous bid of £19m.

West Ham chairman David Sullivan is determined not to sell Payet at a lower price despite the player’s refusal to play for West Ham.

Payet is not training with the first team at West Ham even though his current contract with the Hammers runs till summer 2021.
