Former West Ham United boss Harry Redknapp says Dimitri Payet could be the signing of the season.

Redknapp wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Dimitri Payet could be one of the signings of the season. He's had a few moves but came into West Ham and has had a flying start.

"I saw the lad who looks after him in the summer and he told me what a good player he is. At £10.5 million, he is a fantastic piece of business.

"The club made some excellent signings in the window and have a much stronger squad.

"Payet looks like he is the jewel in the crown."
