West Ham United forward and French international Dmitri Payet as talked up a move to league title challengers Arsenal with the club linked with him ahead of the January transfer window.

The former Olympique Marseille star made this known in a chat with RMC. In his words, he said: “I read that Wenger considers me the missing piece of the Arsenal’s game, but he’s never told me that!”

“We conceded five or six at home against them. When you see them playing, as a technical player, you could only have fun in that team.

They’re candidates for the title every year.”

On the state of affairs at his London club with West Ham United struggling in the lower rung of the English Premier League (EPL) table, he said: “The situation at the club affects me, but I’m an ambitious person.”

“I miss the Champions League… I’ve got some great years ahead of me and I want to enjoy them by playing in important competitions.

“If I’m forced to leave West Ham, it will be done according to the rules – the club will have its share of the cake.

“My coach understands that today’s situation does not suit me. I will ask the questions at the right time.” he concluded.
