Dimitri Payet incredibly reveals, ‘When I want to p*** everyone off, I do it’ following controversial West Ham exit
DIMITRI PAYET has incredibly revealed he knows how to be a "d***head" and "wants to p*** everyone off".
The Marseille midfielder, 30, has admitted he can be a difficult player to manage... after he forced a move away from West Ham last season.
French star Payet was unstoppable in his debut season in the Premier League, scoring 12 goals and adding 15 assists.
But he stunned the club by demanding a move away, before eventually joining Ligue 1 side Marseille.
Payet amazingly claimed: "I know how to be a d***head. It's one of my specialities.
"It's a little game. When I want to p*** everyone off, I do it.
"My managers understood that when I sulk, they talk to me. It's a way for me to be heard.
"Those who know me play along, and, in the end, it goes well.

Payet has shone since his move to France, scoring 20 goals in 33 games for Marseille.
