West Ham United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to Dimitri Payet’s recent comments.

Payet left Premier League outfit West Ham for his former club Marseille in Ligue 1 in the January transfer window for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £25 million.

The 29-year-old attacking midfielder was on the books of the Hammers for a season-and-a-half following his move from Marseille in the summer of 2015.

The France international scored nine goals and created 116 chances in 30 Premier League appearances for the London club last season.

Prior to his move to Marseille in January, Payet scored two goals and created 72 chances in 18 league matches for West Ham this season.

In a recent interview with French newspaper L’Equipe, Payet stated that he was not happy with the defensive system used by West Ham manager Slaven Bilic.

The former Lille star also revealed that he was bored at the Hammers, and claimed that he risked regressing at the London Stadium and needed another challenge.

West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Payet’s comments.
