Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille have completed the signing of West Ham United winger Dimitri Payet for a reported fee of £25 million, just 18 months after selling him to the Premier League outfit.
West Ham confirmed the transfer on Sunday, with Payet signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the French club, per the Guardian's David Hytner.
Marseille shared a photo of Payet upon his return:
West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan provided a statement to the club's website about Payet's departure: "The Club would like to place on record its sincere disappointment that Dimitri Payet did not show the same commitment and respect to West Ham United that the Club and fans showed him, particularly when it rewarded him with a lucrative new five-and-half-year deal only last year.
