France manager Didier Deschamps was impressed with midfielder Dimitri Payet's performance in the Holland win, telling ​L'Equipe the former Lille playmaker is in 'top form'.





Payet has been one of the top performers of the current Premier League season for West Ham United with consistently sparking displays as he has lifted Slaven Bilic's men to more than within a shout for Champions League qualification.

He had previously failed to receive an international call-up for a year, but now looks to be right back in contention, with his national team boss the latest to pay him a compliment.





"He was very good," Deschamps said, when asked of Payet's performance against the Dutch, and commented on his endeavours from set plays and his touch on the ball - agreeing with most fans and pundits that the player is in great form.





"He responded well whenever he had to touch the ball. He had an enormous quality on set pieces and made a lot of effort.





"He confirmed with us what he has been doing with his club — he is in top form."

With eight goals and nine assists in the Premier league, Payet has more than paid back the transfer fee West Ham paid Lille for him.





He continues to pull the strings in midfield for the Hammers as they compete with Manchester United for a top four spot, as well as challenging the Red Devils for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium.
