Career

society

Payet was born in Saint-Pierre on Réunion , a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean . He began playing football with local clubs on Réunion and moved to mainland France to Le Havre AC at the age of twelve . He went through the youth department of the club and after four years moved back to his home country to AS Excelsior Saint-Joseph , where he played in the D1 Promotionelle , the first league réunions. After Payet was able to convince there with good performances, he was signed by FC Nantes in 2004 . There he was initially used in the reserve team. In the 2005/06 season he was accepted into the professional squad. In the same season he played three games and scored his first goal. In his second year he attracted more attention and ran a total of 30 times for the canaries , but could only celebrate four goals. The 2006/07 season was disappointing for Nantes, Payet was relegated with FCN from Ligue 1 . The offensive all-rounder then moved to AS Saint-Étienne . In July 2009, he announced that he had extended his contract with Saint-Étienne until 2013. But it wasn't until the 2010/11 season that Payet broke the knot: after seven match days, he topped the Ligue 1 scorer list with just as many goals.

On June 28, 2011 Payet moved to the French champions OSC Lille , where he signed a four-year contract. However, after two years he was drawn to Olympique Marseille . He left Marseille in the summer of 2015 and joined West Ham United in the Premier League . In February 2016, his contract term was extended to 2021.

At the end of January 2017, Payet returned to Olympique Marseille. He is the team captain .

On September 30, 2010, national coach Laurent Blanc appointed him for the first time in the A-squad of the Bleus for the two European Championship qualifiers in October; against Romania he came on shortly before the end and prepared the goal to make it 2-0. However , he was not considered for the 2012 European Championship . Also in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil Payet was not in the squad of the French national team. Payet scored the first goal in the national jersey on June 7, 2015 when he came on as a substitute in the friendly against Belgium and scored 3: 4 in added time.

At the European Football Championship in France in 2016 , Payet was added to the French squad by national coach Didier Deschamps . In the opening game against Romania he prepared the first goal and scored the decisive goal in the 89th minute to make it 2-1 with a left-footed shot outside the penalty area in the upper left corner.
