tell me
My comment:
from decir.
XXXX has stated to me
My comment:
If you're looking for something a little more formal.
xxx tells me that or XXX tells me [at the end of the sentence]
My comment:
That inversion is common in Spanish.
José me dice, Díceme José
Díceme el policia que: la policia me dice que. Same thing.

XXX me dice
My comment:
Díceme is just an archaic/old-fashioned way of saying "XXXX me dice".
My references:
"Las voces dígole y díceme son correctas en español pues los pronombres enclíticos pueden adjuntarse a la base verbal y formar con ella una sola palabra gráfica. La Nueva gramática de la lengua española (2009) documenta que las formas verbales conjugadas con pronombres enclíticos suelen percibirse como arcaizantes, aunque aún se emplean ocasionalmente en la lengua escrita, sobre todo en la literaria. Su uso se detecta también en los registros más formales de la expresión oral. Ahora bien, en el caso del español de Cuba podemos encontrar estas formas verbales conjugadas con pronombres enclíticos incluso en registros menos formales y coloquiales de la expresión oral."

Sorry, I forgot to mention that its English equivalent will be something along the lines of "XXX tells me...".
