France boss Didier Deschamps hails Dimitri Payet's Euro 2016 heroics: He's our saviour
FRENCH coach Didier Deschamps has saluted West Ham for turning Dimitri Payet into the saviour of France.
France star Dimitri Payet joined West Ham from Marseille last summer
The Hammers star rode to the rescue with a late winner in France's opener against Romania and then scored again in their 2-0 win over Albania.
Deschamps had had doubts about Payet's consistency but was forced to pick him after his outstanding debut season at Upton Park.
Ahead of his side's Group A decider against Switzerland tomorrow, Deschamps said: "He has done well. The saviour if you like. He's able to produce a lot more."
