Dimitri Payet West Ham
On 26 June 2015, Payet joined Premier League club West Ham United on a five-year contract, with the option for an extra 12 months. The transfer fee West Ham paid to Marseille was reported to be £10.7 million. Payet had not intended to leave Marseille in the summer of 2015. Rather, his sale was subject to Marseille’s concern with financial stability after the sale of players such as Florian Thauvin and Giannelli Imbula had stalled.
On 9 August, he made his Premier League debut against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and provided the free kick assist for Cheikhou Kouyaté to head in the opening goal of a 2–0 win. Six days later, he scored his first goal for the team, albeit in a 1–2 home defeat to Leicester City.
Payet scored twice against Newcastle in a 2–0 win at the Boleyn Ground on 14 September. On 9 November, he was ruled out with an injury for an estimated three months after damaging his ankle in a tough challenge from Everton’s James McCarthy in a 1–1 home draw on 7 November.
He scored his first goal from his return from injury in a 3–1 comeback win against AFC Bournemouth on 12 January 2016, equalizing with curling hit free-kick that went in off the underside of the crossbar, which was praised by several pundits. His Man of the Match performance received a standing ovation from West Ham fans as he was substituted in the 78th minute for Alex Song.
In February 2016, Payet signed a new five-and-a-half-year contract with West Ham that would pay him £125,000 a week, committing him to the club until the summer of 2021. That March, Payet was named the Premier League Player of the Year at the 2016 London Football Awards. On 13 March, he scored a free-kick, described by some journalists as “sublime” and “spectacular”, from 35 yards (32 m) as West Ham drew 1–1 at Old Trafford against Manchester United in an FA Cup quarter-final.
Following an outstanding first season in English football, Payet was shortlisted by the Premier League for the 2016 PFA Players’ Player of the Year Award. In May 2016, Payet became the 38th recipient of the West Ham United Player of the Year award.
Dimitri Payet Transfer
Return to Marseille
After the takeover by American businessman Frank McCourt, Marseille introduced their “OM Champions” Project, one that would be fueled by a new influx of talent. This was put to fruition, with the club’s purchase of the likes of Morgan Sanson and Patrice Evra. However, both the coaching staff and the Marseille board had been keen on bringing Payet back to the club since the beginning of the 2017 January transfer window.
On 12 January 2017, West Ham United manager Slaven Bilić announced that Payet no longer wanted to play for the club. He then did not feature at all in the matchday squad on 14 January, despite no reported injuries.
At the London Stadium on that matchday, a mural installed in tribute to Payet winning Player of the Year was guarded by security in order to “prevent it being vandalized”. Payet was subsequently the subject of two bids from his previous club Marseille which were both rejected by West Ham. They stated that they did not want to sell the player, but would prefer him to apologize to fans and continue playing for the club.
On 29 January, West Ham accepted an offer of £25 million from Marseille for the transfer of Payet. The day after Payet completed his move to Marseille, his mural at the London Stadium was removed and replaced with one to commemorate Andy Carroll’s bicycle kick goal against Crystal Palace scored earlier in the month.
Payet made his second Marseille début in a 2016–17 Coupe de France clash with Olympique Lyonnais on 31 January 2017, appearing as a substitute in extra time at the Stade Vélodrome as his new club won 2–1. On 8 February, Payet scored his first goal since returning to OM in a 2–0 home victory over Guingamp.
On 3 May 2018, he played in the Europa League semi-finals away to FC Red Bull Salzburg as Marseilles played out a 1–2 away loss but a 3–2 aggregate win to secure a place in the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final which will be played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, Lyon, France on 16 May 2018, versus Atletico Madrid.
During the UEFA Europa League Final, Payet suffered an injury and was substituted on the 31st minute of the first half, complicating his chances to be included in France’s squad for the 2018 Russia FIFA World Cup.
