West Ham news: Player ratings, Hammers eye Dimitri Payet return, Moyes on Leicester disaster

West Ham travelled to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on Wednesday hoping to pick up a big three points.

But it wasn't to be, with Brendan Rodgers' side picking running out 4-1 winners as David Moyes' team were dominated from start to finish.

The hosts went 2-0 up before half-time, despite Jamie Vardy going off injured early on.

And though Mark Noble had got them back in the game from the penalty spot shortly after half-time, two goals from Ayoze Perez added gloss to the scoreline for the hosts.

It's now four points from a possible 12 under Moyes, and things are not looking pretty.

Following the game, we take a look at the latest West Ham news, below.

Dimitri Payet rumours

Things have not been going well at Stratford recently.

But could that all be about to change?

The Hammers have been linked with a sensational move for Dimitri Payet.

The midfielder spent two years in East London, becoming a fan favourite after some dazzling displays.

And now L'Equipe say West Ham have 'registered an interest' in taking the 32-year-old back from Marseille.

What West Ham have to do now

The new manager bounce for West Ham hasn't really arrived since David Moyes took over shortly before the turn of 2020 as Manuel Pellegrini was given the boot.

Since he returned to the club, the Hammers have picked up four points from a possible 12 in the Premier League and the win over Bournemouth on New Year's Day now looks a long way in the rear-view mirror.
