Things have not gone West Ham’s way this season at all and situation has gotten worse for them as reports are surfacing that their star player Dimitri Payet has told the club that he wants to leave the club as soon as possible and has gone on strike against the club.
Right now, one of the best players in the Premier League, the Frenchman is too good for the Hammers and was the key reason behind their successful last season. Even though West Ham have struggled badly this season, Payet has been quite impressive and him looking for a move away is hardly a surprise.
So, what are the potential destinations for the Frenchman? Let us discuss that in this article. Any club in the world would love to have the 29-year-old in the squad but who actually needs him? Here are three such clubs that we can look at.
Liverpool
Despite Liverpool having a pretty impressive season, it is quite evident that Klopp’s side need more quality to challenge for the title. Their squad strength is much inferior to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs.
A player of Payet’s calibre certainly will add a lot to the team. The Frenchman will thrive under an attacking-minded manager like Klopp and will give the Reds’ attack a whole new dimension.
Everton
Ronald Koeman is looking to make Everton a reckoned force in England once again but he needs more quality in the side. Everton needs a few players other than Lukaku who can lead the others by an example and Payet could very well turn out to be that special player.
Everton does have the funds to attract the French maestro and also can afford his big wage. So, this move is realistic in every way.
AC Milan
After so many seasons, AC Milan had an impressive start to the season and it seemed like they will not only finish in top three this season but also will be able to challenge Juventus for the title. However, they are slowly losing that touch in their game and the reason behind that is the lack of quality and experience in the side and Payet can add both.
Vincenzo Montella is doing a brilliant job at San Siro and is bringing the best out of his young players like Suso, Locatelli, Romagnoli et al. An experienced and proven player like Payet can make a big difference at the club and spur them back to their successful days.
