In comments provided to streamer Zack Nani, Bafétimbi Gomis mentioned his former teammate Dimitri Payet.
The striker, who now plays in Japan, assures that Payet “ should have been at the level of Kevin De Bruyne.” “Dimitri Payet, it was very strong”, explains Bafétimbi Gomis.
“He was a world-class player. » The French striker currently plays for Kawasaki Frontale. He knew Dimitri Payet at Saint-Etienne, at OM, and in the French team.
“He should have played for the biggest clubs like Manchester United or Chelsea”
“He is having a great career, but he should have been at De Bruyne’s level,” still deplores Gomis. “When he was at West Ham, he came back to Marseille for love, but he should have played for the biggest clubs like Manchester United or Chelsea. He knew how to do everything: dribble, pass, score, right foot or left foot. »
At the time, rumors even sent Dimitri Payet to a certain Manchester United. But the former Marseille player, after only a year and a half at West Ham, decided to return to OM, his favorite club. The question of how far his career could have gone will therefore always remain unanswered.
