The France international attacker had to go to war with the English club in January, but seems to believe that it was all worth it
Dimitri Payet has explained why he was so quick to depart West Ham in January, revealing that it was a combination of family and footballing pressures that made him seek a move back to Marseille.
The France star became a household name in England after a stellar 2015-16 season at Upton Park but struggled to rediscover his best form this term as Slaven Bilic’s side struggled in the Premier League. In January, he went on strike in attempt to force through a move back to France, which he eventually made for £25 million, reportedly taking a 25 per cent pay cut in the process.
