“If Ozil doesn’t sign, go for Payet!” – Fans react to news of transfer target
|In what came as shock news, West Ham boss, Slaven Bilic announced that Dimitri Payet “no longer wants to play” for West Ham.
The Frenchman was outstanding for the Hammers last season but this year, he has found it very hard to replicate his form, as have the team as a whole in fairness. West Ham currently sit 13th in the League, largely down to a series of injuries but also poor recruitment in the summer.
Payet was linked with a move away from the club in the summer but he eventually stayed. Arsenal were one of the teams linked with the France star in the summer and with this new revelation, they could well go back in for him again.
If Ozil doesn't sign new contract, Arsenal should go for Payet. Cheeky upgrade! ?

Offer Ox and Jenkinson for Payet. Big upgrade on The Ox plus Payet can play central while Cazorla is out
Arsenal should be straight in there— Andy (@yorkshiregunner) January 12, 2017

Waiting for £4m bid from Arsenal for #Payet . Wenger can be funny at times.

However, some gave a bit more perspective on the matter…
Contrast Giroud's attitude with Payet. One knows he's not 1st choice but battles every day the other is a selfish bastard

lets do a swap
He can’t go to a British club cos him and his family are unsettled here and he doesn’t like London.This has already been arranged with his agent (who will make a tidy mint) and Marseille,which is why they are the first club in with a bid,albeit way off the valuation.
