Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are said to be keen on the playmaker.
West Ham do not want to sell but are supposedly realistic about their chances of keeping Payet if a big-money offer comes in.
But captain Noble hopes the 29-year-old will stay loyal to the Hammers.

The former Marseille player arrived at West Ham under the radar last summer but enjoyed such a strong season that the club offered him a new £125,000-a-week contract to stave off interest from suitors.
"We were all hoping he would go (to Euro 2016, and earlier in the season) I said to him: 'Dim I'm 100 per cent you're going to go', even though he thought he had no chance," Noble added.
"To see him doing so well is great because he's been the player of the tournament so far. I think we all knew how good he was but now the world knows how good he is."
