Hammers players deliver snub to striking star as he attempts to force through move away from London Stadium
WEST HAM stars have delivered the ultimate snub to wantaway Dimitri Payet.
Fed-up Hammers players made Payet an outcast by DELETING him from the squad’s WhatsApp group and BANNING him from a club night out.
Mark Noble and James Collins used the app to tell the striking Frenchman he was no longer considered part of the team as he tries to force a move.

Then group administrator Pedro Obiang said Payet was not welcome on the team conversation and deleted his number.
The spat was revealed as Slaven Bilic told Marseille to stump up £30million if they want Payet, 29.
Club insider ExWHUEmployee said: “The team are all part of a WhatsApp group and they were all messaging each other to arrange going for dinner at the start of this week.
“Then one of the players said, ‘Actually, thinking about it Dimi, we don’t want you to come’.”
Payet, whose car was VANDALISED outside his home, is deeply unpopular.
The club insider said: “Another player then told him he wasn’t invited because none of the players are happy with what he was doing to the club.
“Then the admin came out and told him he wasn’t wanted and didn’t belong in the group, before deleting him.
“It was Noble and Collins who spoke up, then Obiang who removed him from the group. They basically don’t want anything to do with him.”
