Chelsea have been told to forget about signing West Ham star Dimitri Payet according to the Daily Mirror.
The Mirror claim that Chelsea scouts have been urging new manager Antonio Conte to make a move for the French international, but the report also states the Hammers won’t sell the 29-year-old at any price this summer.
Payet signed for the East London club for £10.7million from Marseille last summer and he proved to be one of the stars of the 2015/16 Premier League season, scoring 12 goals in 38 appearances.
He was handed a new five-year-contract in February, however this hasn’t prevented the French international from being linked with potential moves away from East London.
