Dimitri Payet has lit up the Euros following a stellar season with West Ham United.
West Ham's Dimitri Payet has been sensational over the last 12 months
Betting company BETVICTOR have slashed the odds on West Ham United and France star Dimitri Payet winning the Ballon d'Or this year.
Payet's heroics for his country at Euro 2016 has elevated his reputation even further and now BETVICTOR
have made him the 10/1 fourth favourite to win the prestigious award.
He is behind only Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the
betting. To be mentioned alongside names sch as those is evidence in
itself of how highly the 29-year-old former Marseille man is regarded
within the game.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi has five Ballon d'Or awards to his name
The mercurial West Ham star has been in scintillating form for
Les Bleus in their first two group games of the Euros. He has scored two
goals and managed an assist in France's two wins that has guaranteed
their progression to the knock-out stages.
Payet has played a starring role for France at the euros
In 30 Premier League games for West Ham last term, Payet managed nine goals and 12 assists and helped the Hammers to seventh place in the league.
Could the Messi Ronaldo Ballon d'Or winning monopoly be broken this
year? Incredibly, 13 of the last 15 World Player of the year awards have
gone to either a Barcelona or Real Madrid player. Although Payet is
arguably the best player on the planet at the present time, it would
still be a long shot to think he could win the Ballon d'Or without
playing Champions League football this season.
If he can continue the form he is in over the course of the
2016/17 campaign, however, it may be hard to ignore the uniquely
talented Frenchman.
