As the Dimitri Payet saga continues, West Ham players are reported to have given the Frenchman the flick from their WhatsApp group chat.

Andy Carroll and club captain Mark Noble are among the players to have voiced their opinions over Payet's behaviour since he made it clear that he had no intention of playing another game for the East London club as he seeks a move.

The plot has since thickened with the midfielder apparently removed from the player's WhatsApp group, a popular group messaging service.

According to Twitter user , a well-known West Ham fan and reporter, Noble, James Collins and Pedo Obiang led a drive to give Payet the boot.
A move to Marseille has been rumoured, but with nothing official so far, Payet has been banished to training with the under-23 squad as the club decides what to do with the want-away star.
