What a crafty purchase Dimitri Payet has proved to be for West Ham. One of the most creative talents in Ligue 1 over the past few years, the playmaker has continued to shine since moving to the Premier League in the summer. However, at the weekend, the West Ham playmaker was the target of a meaty challenge from Everton’s James McCarthy, which has put the French international out of action for an expected three months.
The 28-year-old has since taken to Instagram to post a video of the challenge in question along with a message for Hammers’ fans…
We’re not sure if Payet posted the clip to have a pop at McCarthy over the challenge, which rightly earned him a yellow card, with little need for him to follow through with his right leg like he did. However, the player will definitely now have plenty of time to feck about on the internet over the coming months. As for Slaven Bilic and co, one wonders how big a blow losing their star man will prove to be (I’d say a very very big blow!).
