Dimitri Payet Is The Free-Kick King
Dimitri Payet has 13 goals in all competitions this year. Five of them are on free-kicks coming off of his golden right foot. Sure, there are a lot of amazing free-kick takers out there, but I'm going to go ahead and just give Payet the title of "Free-Kick King". His right footed curling rockets have been giving goalkeepers fits since his return from an ankle injury in January and he's been key in keeping West Ham in the hunt for a top four finish. Go ahead a watch all of his golazo's from set peices this year. The best one, probably his rip from 30+ yards out against Russia. But all 5 are clinical and have earned him the right to be The18's Free-kick King.
