Dimitri Payet is slowly but surely proving himself to be indespensable for club and country.
Dimitri Payet has enjoyed the most productive season of his career
West Ham United and France star Dimitri Payet has been a revelation since his move to the Premier League last summer.
The 29-year-old has also enjoyed a renaissance with the French national team, creating his very own portfolio of exquisite free-kicks along the way, and now the official Twitter account of Les Bleus has uploaded a video of another Payet screamer.
Dimitri Payet will be hoping to start for France at Euro 2016
Equipe de France tweeted the below video in which Payet showcases his immaculate technique and ability to strike a ball with the kind of crisp precision that even a goalkeeper with the quality of Hugo Lloris is helpless to stop:
Didier Deschamps has obviously been impressed with the form of the West Ham man, and has chosen to start the enigmatic attacker in three of France’s last four games.
Payet will face competition for his place from the likes of Antoine Griezmann
The former Marseille man will have to be at his best if he expects to start every game for his country at the Euro’s, however. He is in direct competition for a starting berth with world-class stars such as Antoine Griezmann, Anthony Martial and Kingsley Coman.
With an attacking line-up like that, it is little wonder the French have been made 3/1 favourites to win the tournament.
Will Payet get the nod ahead of the likes of Kingsley Coman?
