Payet has been instrumental in West Ham's successes so far this season and the Hammers currently lie fourth in the league table. After joining the team this summer, Payet has been pulling the attacking strings for his new club and he has already become a fan favorite.

The fans have now made a song for him which says he is better than Zidane.

Payet said that he never got such a response from France and that it touched him to hear the fans singing his name. Payet was moved by the affection shown by the fans and said that he wanted to thank the fans for that.

Payet was also flattered to hear him being compared to Zidane in the song, and said that it was great to even be compared to Zidane.

The 28 year old now will face Chelsea on Saturday and will be looking to face his previous teammate Eden Hazard. Both of them spent a year together at Lille and Payet is looking forward to playing against Hazard, for whom he has great praise for.

Payet said that Hazard has enough quality to get through this blip and that in years to come he is going to be as good as Cristiano and Messi.
