Real Madrid eyeing move to challenge Chelsea for West Ham star
DIMITRI PAYET is being scouted by Real Madrid, according to reports.
Payet has been one of the early stars of the tournament at Euro 2016
Payet has lit up Euro 2016 so far with two goals in two games, including a stunning left-footed strike in the 89th minute to give France a 2-1 win over Romania in the opening game of the tournament.
It comes off the back of a brilliant debut Premier League campaign after the Frenchman made a £10.7million move from Marseille.
Payet has racked up 12 goals and 12 assists in his first season at West Ham and in February signed a five-year, £120,000-a-year contract.
“He's doing great now for France and to get him now, you've got to be talking ridiculous money.
"But football is football, so you never know.”
