West Ham United skipper Mark Noble is confident that Dimitri Payet will remain in London, despite suggestions that a host of European clubs want to sign the Frenchman.
Payet scored 12 times for West Ham during the 2015-16 campaign and has taken his strong form into Euro 2016, already scoring twice for hosts France in this summer's competition.
It has been reported that the likes of Real Madrid are interested in the 29-year-old, but Noble has said that Payet "loves" West Ham after signing a new long-term contract with the capital club earlier this year.
"I think he will be. I've been in a lot of contact with him over the summer and he loves the football club. But football is football, so you never know, but obviously we'd all like to see him back here in the summer," Noble told Sky Sports News.
"We were all hoping he would go [to the Euros, and earlier in the season] I said to him: 'Dim, I'm 100 per cent [sure] you're going to go', even though he thought he had no chance.
"To see him doing so well is great because he's been the player of the tournament so far. I think we all knew how good he was but now the world knows how good he is."
Payet signed a five-year contract at West Ham upon his arrival from Marseille last summer, but penned a new and improved contract in February.
