Winston Reid has sent his biggest congratulations to Dimi Payet from Mexico!The central defender said on the official site: “I saw the opening game and he was really, really good and came up with a brilliant goal at the end.
“I didn’t see the second game, but I heard he got another goal and played a part in France’s other goal. He’s had an unbelievable twelve months and hopefully he can carry on with that form.
“Dimi is small and quick and technical whereas I am almost the complete opposite, so there are not a lot of similarities between us!”
The Hammers are off to the USA for their pre-season tour at the beginning of July, and will take on both the Major League Soccer side Seattle Sounders as well as North American Soccer League outfit Carolina RailHawks.
