Video: Every Dimitri Payet goal and assist

Former Hammer Dimitri Payet turned 33 years of age a few days ago and today we show every goal and assist he made in a West Ham shirt.

On 26 June 2015, Payet joine West Ham United on a five-year contract, with the option for an extra 12 months. The transfer fee West Ham paid to Marseille was £10.7 million. On 9 August, he made his Premier League debut against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and provided the free kick assist for Cheikhou Kouyaté to head in the opening goal of a 2–0 win. Six days later, he scored his first goal for the team, albeit in a 1–2 home defeat to Leicester City. Payet scored twice against Newcastle in a 2–0 win at the Boleyn Ground on 14 September.  In February 2016, Payet signed a new five-and-a-half year contract with West Ham that would pay him £125,000 a week, committing him to the club until the summer of 2021. That March, Payet was named the Premier League Player of the Year at the 2016 London Football Awards. On 13 March, he scored a free kick, described by some journalists as “sublime” and “spectacular”, from 35 yards (32 m) as West Ham drew 1–1 at Old Trafford against Manchester United in an FA Cup quarter-final.

Following an outstanding first season in English football, Payet was named Premier League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards in March and shortlisted by the Premier League for the 2016 PFA Players’ Player of the Year Award. In May 2016, Payet became the 38th recipient of the Hammer of the award.
