DIMITRI PAYET has completed his move to Marseille.

The West Ham star had gone on strike with the Hammers after claiming he was homesick.

And the France star got the move he craved, with the move finally announced this evening.

West Ham tweeted: "BREAKING: Dimitri Payet has been sold to Olympique de Marseille for a fee of £25m."

Payet has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal with the French giants, who sold him to West Ham for £10.7m in 2015.

The 29-year-old was a big hit in his first season with the London club, scoring 12 times in 38 appearances.

He also agreed a lucrative new contract until 2021 before starring for his country as they reached the final of Euro 2016 on home soil.

But things turned sour earlier this month when Payet angered his boss Bilic by requesting a transfer and declining to be picked against Palace.

West Ham are now likely to bring in Brentford star Scott Hogan to bolster their strike-force.

A fee in the region of £13m is expected to be agreed.
