Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti wants West Ham United's Dimitri Payet

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has urged the club to make a move for West Ham United midfielder Dimitri Payet.

The 29-year-old was the star player of the Hammers' Premier League campaign last season, and has carried his form into Euro 2016.

Payet scored in France's opening two matches at the tournament, and is expected to start in his nation's quarter-final clash against Iceland.

Following Inter's takeover from China's Suning Commerce Group, the Serie A club are expected to receive an injection of cash, and Moratti wants Payet.

"As a fan, I would love to see Payet in an Inter shirt," The Mirror quotes Moratti as saying. "However, the great champions are currently elusive, you have to be lucky enough to find the right opportunity.

"We are missing two to three players to be competitive. The important thing is to have solid players that ensure continuity."

The Hammers are determined to keep hold of the midfielder.
