Dimi’s terraces tribute after “bizarre” decision

|

payet3Dimi Payet believes his nomination as the PFA Players of the Year has justified his decision to sign for the Irons – which he claims may have seemed “bizarre.”

The front runner in ClaretandHugh’s Iron of the Year poll told the official site: “There is a lot of quality on the list and just to be nominated is really something special.

Some people thought that it was a slightly bizarre decision to come to West Ham, but like I have done in all the clubs I have played for, I have improved and taken my game to the next level.”

 “I have worked very hard and now I am reaping the rewards and enjoying my time here. I am making the most of every moment here as things are going well. The fans here are great, there are lots of things being created for me.

Some t-shirts with the song they sing about me which is really nice. It’s touching to have been welcomed so nicely and the love the fans give me is absolutely incredible.”

Totally professional, Dimi declares that he isn’t even thinking about the European Finals with France because there’s too much to think about at West Ham.

He said“No (to thinking about the Euros) , I am still fully focussed on my game here. We have had game after game in the past few weeks.

“There are too many important things to think about before then, with so many games that can have an impact on a final position in the League.”
