Dimitri Payet's agent, Mark McKay, believes that it would take "ridiculous money" to sign the West Ham and France midfielder following Euro 2016.

Dimitri Payet's agent has claimed that it would take "ridiculous money" to sign the West Ham United midfielder this summer.

The 29-year-old joined the Hammers from Marseille last summer and enjoyed a positive debut season in English football, scoring 12 goals and notching up 15 assists from 38 appearances in all competitions.

Payet was then selected in France's 23-man squad for Euro 2016 and scored a last-minute goal in Les Bleus' opening Group A match against Romania to clinch a 2-1 win for the host nation.

Payet's agent, Mark McKay, told Sky Sports News: "As far as I am concerned, he's been happy at West Ham and it's down to West Ham that he's in the position that he is in.

"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."

Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have since been linked with moves for Payet, with figures quoted as high as £60m.
