Payet’s horrifying KFCgate

The recent ‘he said, she said’ saga on whether Dimi told a journalist he staying 100% at West Ham is not the real story for me.

What is is that he was allegedly at Folkestone Motorway  services on junction 11 of the M20 to buy and consume a Kentucky Fried Chicken meal.

When Payet joined us in 2015 with a weight of 77kg and a height of 1.75m he had a BMI of 25.1 which technically classes him as overweight by NHS standards. Payet is obviously a player with a build who needs to regularly train to keep his weight down.

In the modern day where Premier League footballers have strictly controlled diets and their fat content is measured by their clubs it seems bizarre that an athlete would choose to eat KFC.

Maybe his addiction with KFC started with the France squad who sponsors include the fast food company. He can be seen tucking into his favourite food above.

P.S before anyone flies off the handle with this article it supposed to tongue in cheek, Dimi can eat what he eats as long as he stays with the Hammers and continues to bang in the goals for us 😉

And he is on holiday!!!!
