Revealed: Why West Ham star Dimitri Payet is as good as Arsenal's Mesut Ozil

DIMITRI PAYET is on the same level as Mesut Ozil, according to West Ham hero Trevor Sinclair.

Payet joined the Hammers from Marseille this summer and has been one of the signings of the season.

The 28-year-old France international has been a revelation for Slaven Bilic's side as they threaten to upset the top order of the Premier League.

West Ham are sixth, just a point below Manchester United, and their return to form has been helped by Payet's return from injury.

 

And Sinclair believes Payet is up there with Ozil - Arsenal's £42million man.

Ozil was being lauded as the best player in the Premier League earlier this term as he helped Arsene Wenger's side to the top of the league.

“I think Ozil is a special player," Sinclair said speaking exclusively to 888poker.com. 

"He’s a world cup winner and he’s been very instrumental in Arsenal’s play this year but I also think Payet has. 

 

"The fact that he’s come into the Premier League in his first season and been as influential and got as many plaudits as he has shows we are talking about a top, top player.

“Arsenal has a superior squad and are going for the title this year whereas Payet doesn’t have as strong a squad around him yet he’s still been exceptional in the chances he’s creating. 

"He works hard for the team, he’s possibly more dangerous scoring goals than Ozil, and I definitely feel comfortable putting them in the same breath.”
