Marseille are set to test West Ham's resolve with a £30million bid for Dimitri Pauet, according to reports in France.

Last month the French international refused to rule out a return to Ligue 1 with his former club, who were recently purchased by wealthy American businessman Frank McCourt.

And this morning L'Equipe report that Payet is top of .Les Phocéens' transfer window hit list, with the club said to be preparing a huge bid in order to woo Payet back to the club he spent two years with prior to joining West Ham.




Speaking last month, Payet admitted that the prospect of one day returning to Marseille was a tempting proposition. "I have said I would not close the door to anything," he said.

"Marseille has a new project that seems interesting, although obviously we are waiting to hear from the new owners. But everyone knows my attachment to this club."
