Dimitri Payet has tried to force through a move before - but how did that one play out?

Dimitri Payet has asked to leave West Ham- but it isn't the first time the Frenchman has tried to force a move.
The Frenchman only signed a new deal with the club in February, worth a whopping £125,000-a-week.
But manager, Slaven Bilic has revealed Payet wants to go- and will not play or train for the foreseeable future.
West Ham are left with a big decision to make as Marseille look to take Payet back to the club in a £30million deal.
The player has come in for criticism from Hammers fans and it is not the first time he has tried to force through a transfer.
In 2011, while at Saint-Etienne, Payet asked to leave the club to join PSG.
"There is a real fissure between the [Saint-Etienne] leaders and I," he said.
“It is a project that interests me very much. Paris are second in Le Championnat, they are able to qualify for the Champions League, they are in the knockout stages of UEFA Europa League, and they are a club that could teach me.
"If it’s not done, I would lose, and the club would too.”
The move failed to happen but Payet did get a transfer in the summer of 2011 as he joined Lille.
He spent two years with the French club before joining Marseille.
Payet is keen to return to the Ligue 1 club, who are the only club to show an interest.
