Payet set to stay at West Ham

Aaron Creswell has revealed he is confident that Dimitri Payet will remain a West Ham player next season, despite interest from Real Madrid.

The playmaker is set to be on Ziedine Zidane's wishlist, but after signing a £125,000 a week deal in February that will run until 2021, Creswell believes he will stay, and turn down one of the biggest clubs in world football.

"If you ask Dimi I am sure he would say he has only been here one season and I don't think he will leave. There is no reason to. He loves it here, the fans love him and it is perfect and we are doing well and moving to a new stadium. I know he loves it here and will stay," Cresswell told Sportsmail.

"It is the same for any player – when you do well there will always be someone looking in and thinking, 'Do they fit at my club?'

"Dimi has been fantastic for us. It sometimes takes a couple of seasons for a foreign player to adapt and learn the language and culture but look at what he and the others have done this season."

West Ham will be hoping the player stays and can lead them into what will hopefully be a successful debut season in their new Olympic Stadium.
