Aaron Cresswell makes no bones about – he reckons Dimi Payet i the best free taker in the world.

Speaking to www.whufc.com of yesterday’s latest amazing shots he said: “I will put Dimi up there as the best free-kick taker in the world at the moment. I was standing right behind him and the ball looked destined for the top corner.

“Nobes came over to him and gave him a little heads-up, but he has put it in the top corner once again and hopefully he can keep doing that for us. I will gladly sit behind him and keep watching him strike balls like that.

“I am not sure he will want to watch his first free-kick back but he has now scored five or six in the top corner and as everyone saw in world football the other day, he scored another one for France which was a ridiculous one and he has now put one in the opposite corner.

“As a keeper you can only applaud someone like that and long may it continue if he can keep scoring goals like that.”
