French star Payet was unstoppable in his debut season in the Premier League, scoring 12 goals and adding 15 assists.

But he stunned the club by demanding a move away, before eventually joining Ligue 1 side Marseille.

Payet amazingly claimed: "I know how to be a d***head. It's one of my specialities.

"It's a little game. When I want to p*** everyone off, I do it.

"My managers understood that when I sulk, they talk to me. It's a way for me to be heard.

"Those who know me play along, and, in the end, it goes well.

"I left [West Ham] for many reasons, but the main one was about football.

"West Ham's objectives weren't the same as the last season, and I felt in danger for my football and my chances with the national team. I had a choice to make."

Payet has shone since his move to France, scoring 20 goals in 33 games for Marseille.
