A team outside England have made an approach to sign Dimitri Payet, reports L’Equipe.

The Frenchman has reportedly already agreed a €7m/year contract for four-and-a-half-years with Marseille, despite his agent denying it.

Marseille have increased their offer to €30m, and could wait until the last couple of days of the transfer window to complete a deal.

West Ham have already made a counter proposal to Marseille’s offer, but the Ligue 1 side haven’t responded to it yet, and L’Equipe believe the London side are starting to get impatient.

The 29-year-old reportedly wants to return to Marseille and it remains to be seen if he’d consider offers from any other side.

However, L’Equipe say the non-Premier League side are playing in the Champions League, and that could be tempting for Payet.
