PAYET
In these Sportsmail exclusive snaps, the Hammers rebel can be seen departing the club's academy base in his white Mercedes at 9.45am.
Payet cut a glum figure as he left the premises behind the wheel of his left-hand drive AMG CLS63 S sports car, which costs around £90,000, while his future at the London Stadium remains in the balance.

The Frenchman has been told to report to train with the Under 23s while West Ham work to resolve the issue, which emerged last week when boss Slaven Bilic revealed Payet had asked to leave the club this month.
Payet was spotted on Tuesday at West Ham's Chadwell Heath base which is used by the academy while the first-team are now based at Rush Green, the ground he was pictured leaving in his Ferrari 458 Speciale last Thursday; the day Bilic broke the news that Payet had asked for a transfer.
West Ham, meanwhile, remain adamant their star man will not leave the club in January and have rejected an improved £22million offer from Marseille for Payet.
Marseille president Jacques-Henri Eyraud arrived in London for talks with West Ham co-owner David Sullivan on Monday, but discussions ended in stalemate after West Ham rejected a second offer, leaving Payet in limbo after he told the club last Monday that he never wants to play for them again.
Payet only wants to go to Marseille, ending any hopes West Ham have of sparking a bidding war for the player, whose desire to return to the club he left in 2015 are driven by personal reasons.
He has been ordered to train with the Under 23s. West Ham have told Marseille they want £40m but a fee closer to £30m could be enough.
Sullivan has been adamant Payet is not for sale but the prospect of a huge profit on a player signed for £10.7m last season could be too good an opportunity to turn down.
West Ham could move for Leeds' Chris Wood and expect to complete a move for Brentford's Scott Hogan.
The club have asked Payet to apologise to fans in the hope it could pave the way for his return to first team training as he is currently working with their Under 23 side.
Marseille sense that West Ham would sell Payet this month but want closer to their £35m valuation.
Payet's former club Marseille are the front runners to sign Payet this month but West Ham want to keep him.
The 29-year-old has already told his representatives to reject proposed moves to China as he seeks a return to France.
Despite his stance, both co-chairmen Sullivan and David Gold have expressed that they have no financial need to sell the former Lille man and are refusing to be bullied into a quick sale.
Bilic announced the news at his press conference ahead of Saturday's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, saying he was 'let down and angry' at Payet's decision.
The first team were given Monday off following their impressive display against the Eagles but it is understood Bilic has followed through on his threat to banish Payet from training - and he will now practice with the U23 side instead.
