West Ham United sold Dimitri Payet to Marseille during the January transfer window.
Dimitri Payet’s tweet from exactly one year ago today, barely seems believable, given the way he manoeuvred his exit from West Ham United last month.
Payet asked to leave West Ham to move back to Marseille in January, and managed to force through a move.

West Ham initially wanted to keep hold of Payet, but ended up offloading the 29-year-old after he made it clear he did not want to stay at the London Stadium.
But things were very different just 12 months ago for Payet, when he was being hailed as West Ham’s hero.
Exactly a year ago today, Payet made a public statement denying rumours that he was eager to leave West Ham.

The French international even said that he wanted to remain with the London club ‘for many years’ as he loved the club.
When Payet put the social media message out, he was West Ham’s talisman, but he is not a popular figure at the London Stadium anymore.
Payet scored his first goal since returning to Marseille last night, as he curled in a free-kick against Guingamp in Ligue 1 action.
