The West Ham playmaker remains in third on the Football Whispers index.

Reports in France suggest Manchester United are keen on signing the France international, who scored nine goals in 30 league appearances last season.

The Hammers, meanwhile, have made it clear they do not want to sell Payet, slapping a £100m price tag on him. United surely wouldn't be able match that valuation if they bring Pogba in for the same price too.
