3 reasons why West Ham United will turn their season around

They’ve got Dimitri Payet

If there is a standout reason why West Ham fans should remain optimistic, it’s because they have Dimitri Payet on their books.

The Frenchman was outstanding for the Hammers last season, helping to inspire them to a seventh place finish, and he then continued that excellent form into the European Championships, scoring three times to help France reach the final.

Payet’s quality is evident for all to see, and it was a great effort by West Ham to keep him over the summer given that there was interest in the 29-year-old.

The long summer doesn’t appear to have taken its toll too heavily on Payet either, given his unbelievable individual goal against Middlesbrough last weekend, and moments of magic like that could galvanise and inspire the team to move away from the bottom three.
