Arsenal Look To Payet As No 1 Target To Replace Mesut Özil

Arsene Wenger is lining up a huge £45 Million offer to take Dimitri Payet from West Ham to Arsenal, Wenger is hoping his 'french connection' will help swing the deal in his favour. The Arsenal manager is being forced into opening talks early because his main play maker Mesut Özil has been courted by Real Madrid and a £65 Million pre-transfer deal is already in place with the Spanish giants who see Özil as their next Gallactico signing, for some reason it is enshrined in their culture that they must sign one Gallactico every year, irrespective of whether the player really wants to move there or not!
Now £45 Million may seem like an awful lot of money for a 29 year old attacking mid fielder, but West Ham are rumoured ti have already turned down £38 Million from an as yet unnamed Chinese side, so Arsenal's offer is only £7 Million more, why would the Hammers co-owners cash in on the player they purchased for £10.5 Million in the summer, to make a quick £35 Million?
Either way, West Ham fans will be furious that they won't be able to sing their "we've got Payet" song anymore, after all, he is their No 1 player! Not really fond of fans No 1 in the past. - Ed

is that it could so easily be true. And it fits with all the "Ibra, Bony AND Lukaku on their way to West Ham" stories we've been reading while waiting for football to begin again. Anyway, Payet is worth £45M in gold, I wouldn't sell him for anything. We've got Payet ... etc. COYI!!!!

Im afraid facts are facts ,Payet is at this time proberbly the best player in the prem ,and to think west ham ,a club that was well known for shippin them out ,can hang on to him is debatable, i think a lot depends on the way we perform in the new stadium ,i also think that there is no pressure on the club for next year to keep players ,because of the potential the stadium bring us ,everyone wants to play there

It was going to be a story about Daniel Levy putting a bid in for Payet, but Arsene was more fun! April Fool, funny thing is the brentwood gazette will almost certainly re-print it as gospel!
