France playmaker Dimitri Payet has insisted he is "100 per cent staying at West Ham".
The 29-year-old had been linked with a move away from the London club after a number of impressive performances during his country's run to the final of Euro 2016.
But the former Marseille player, who helped the Hammers to a seventh-placed finish in the Premier League last season, has stressed his commitment to Slaven Bilic's team.
"I've heard about all the interest and I'm flattered. But I love West Ham," Payet told The Sun.
"We had a fantastic season and I can't wait to play in the Olympic Stadium.
"I'm 100 per cent staying at West Ham, I love the club. I can tell the Hammers fans that."
Payet led West Ham’s goalscoring charts last season, with the France international equalling the nine goals scored by England striker Andy Carroll as the Hammers qualified for the Europa League.
