Real Madrid and Chelsea were among those hopeful to sign the player, but their intentions have been handed a serious blow by the player's adviser

Despite having quite a few teams interested in completing his signing this summer, Dimitri Payet will keep playing for West Ham.

In an interview with English newspaper The Guardian, the player's agent Jacques-Olivier August ruled out any transfer news involving his client this summer, hinting that he has already signed a top-caliber contract with The Hammers.

"He has a great contract with West Ham so I cannot see him leaving. Dimitri is happy in London. You never know in football but only West Ham know what price they want if they decide to sell him," August stated.

Payet has performed superbly for West Ham and the French side in the ongoing Euro 2016 tournament. He scored nine goals in 30 apps for the Hammers in the recently concluded season, while helping Les Bleus to win their first two games in the continental competition by scoring a couple of goals and handing out two more assists.

Teams such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter became interested in signing the 29-year-old footballer. However, the French international doesn't seem to have even considered a move away from the English Premier League.
