West Ham have been negotiating a loan deal with the Turkish outfit to try and bring long-term target Burak Yilmaz to Upton Park.
However, according to the Daily Mirror, Galatasaray have responded to the Hammers’s enquiry by requesting that they take Payet in exchange for Yilmaz.
This bold move came after Galatasaray dismissed the prospect of allowing Yilmaz to leave on loan as they are said to prefer a permanent £7miliion move instead.
The Hammers are currently without striker Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho due to injury and are said to be in the market for a forward that is good enough to help them maintain their push for European football.
Despite seemingly missing out on Yilmaz, West Ham still have a deal with Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike in the pipeline with a move set to be finalised before deadline day.
Payet has been one of the brightest sparks in the Premier League since joining the Hammers for £10million from Marseille last summer, so it is no wonder he has been attracting interest from a host of potential suitors.
The 27-year-old has made 16 Premier League appearances for the Hammers so far this season, scoring six goals.
