West Ham star Dimitri Payet issues warning to Arsenal, Man United and City
DIMITRI PAYET has warned the Premier League's top-four hopefuls that West Ham are 'ready to pounce'.
Dimitri Payet says West Ham are ready to pounce on a top-four place
Slaven Bilic's side sit just a point behind fourth-placed Manchester City and are level on points with United with just eight games left of the season.
Payet has been a pivotal player for the Hammers and has taken the Premier League by storm with eight goals and eight assists.
And the Frenchman has warned both Manchester sides and Arsenal that West Ham will 'pounce' on a Champions League qualification place if given the opportunity.
"We made a couple of mistakes that they took advantage of and that’s the reason we leave thinking that we have lost two points.”
The Hammers, however, face a daunting run-in which will no-doubt determine their end-of-season ambitions, facing Leicester, Manchester United and Arsenal in the remaining eight games.
