Is there any way back for Dimitri Payet at West Ham United?
The phrase ‘hero to zero’ doesn’t even begin to sum up Dimitri Payet’s current plight at West Ham United. Despite achieving a landmark season with the Hammers down at Upton Park last term, the highly coveted French international has since decided he no longer wishes to ply his trade in front of the very same fans who once crowed him king.
West Ham have hardly been all that impressive for the most part this campaign – but as Payet hasn’t exactly been in scintillating form himself since emerging from the French national squad at Euro 2016 this summer – his reported desire to depart his current employers has certainly hit the Hammers fan-base hard.

According to some within the English footballing community, Payet has acted totally out of line…

…perhaps there is indeed life after Payet for West Ham United. There is no ‘I’ in team after all…
Will you remember Payet as a legend or a snake?
