S. Biličius: Payet is on the same level as Ozil

„West Ham“ coach Slaven Bilic believes that Dimitri Payet is at the same level as Mesut Ozil. The player, who joined from Marseille in the summer and scored five goals and made three assists in twelve Premier League matches before suffering a knee injury, is expected to be available for today's match against „Liverpool“.

According to Slaven Bilic, his pupil's playing style is equivalent to that of Arsenal star Mesut Ozil.

„In my opinion, he is at the same level as Mesut Ozil. He makes other players better. He opens up extra spaces for his teammates, creates opportunities for them, and can take several opponents out of the game. Peyetas immediately fit into the team, and the team and players quickly saw his potential,” Bilic revealed to journalists before the match.

Ozil, compared to Payet, has scored three goals and made eleven assists in 18 Premier League matches this season.
