'Foot-Mercato' says that Payet is closer to returning to the France national team ahead of preparation for Euro 2020.
The cited media outlet says that they know of sources close to Didier Deschamps which say the coach is planning to call up the Marseille player.
This is to do with the effort and the level he is showing this term because he has now got five goals and two assists in 13 games, starting all of them.
Payet was one of the those left out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia which France won.
