When West Ham signed Dimitri Payet from Marseille, everyone knew they had managed to pull off a coup by signing a player of his calibre, no disrespect to West Ham, but the talented Frenchman could have been playing in any of the top clubs across Europe.

9 goals and 12 assists last season in the Premier League saw him nominated for the PFA player of the year award last season and this season as well, he has continued his good form and is a firm fan favourite. The first truly world-class star to play for West Ham since the departures of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, Payet has turned in some amazing and eye-catching performances for the Hammers.

With West Ham struggling to put in good performances in the Premier League this season, Payet might well look to leave the club in January, with some reports claiming that Barcelona are ready to bid 40 million pounds for him.

His performances have drawn praise from all quarters and the Hammers’ manager showed just how impressed he was when he said:"I have to get poetry lessons to describe his importance to us," said Croatian Bilic.

"I haven't seen better players than that. He is also doing the dirty work and on the ball he is up there with Luka Modric from the players I have trained so far, Dimitri is one of the best I have trained and every week I want these questions about him to continue, but it is hard to be surprised."

With the Hammers languishing close to the relegation zone, Bilic will have a tough task keeping the Frenchman away from the Catalan giants.
