Saint-Etienne’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitri-Payet-c11276 on Paris Saint-Germain and LOSC Lille radar – Ligue 1 transfer news
Saint-Etienne winger, Dimitri Payet, is reportedly becoming part of a duel between Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain and LOSC Lille. According to reports in Toulouse, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 International has been attracting interest from Paris and Lille for a long
time. Reports indicate that Payet is more interested in signing for Paris Saint-Germain. Furthermore, Dimitri Payet was present in the Parc des Princes last night when the Parisiens defeated Olympique de Lyonnais.
Even though the 24-year-old winger had initially mooted exit speculation, it now seems that the winger would turn down Lille in order to play for PSG next season. Since the turn of the New Year, Payet has been frequently linked with both PSG and Lille. Rumours
also indicate that Saint-Etienne rejected a bid from PSG for the striker’s services in the January transfer window. The Perisiens are now set to rekindle their interest in the mercurial winger.
Paris Saint-Germain will have to battle hard in order to lure the striker to the Parc des Princes. It is believed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 are also interested in signing the player. Lille, on the other hand, will be
left with a striker and winger crisis if the highly-sought duo of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 leave the club. Lille identify Payet as an ideal replacement, as he can play both as a winger and a striker.
Dimitri Payet, for his part, seems willing to move to pastures greener at the end of the ongoing campaign. Talking to the media, the winger said:
“I’m flattered to know that so many clubs are monitoring my progress but France is still my priority as I want to stay in Ligue 1.”
Since signing for Saint-Etienne from Nantes in 2007, the tricky winger has made 104 appearances for Les Verts and has scored 13 goals. This season, the youngster has scored 8 goals in the league and has one assist to his name.
