Five players to replace Dimitri Payet at West Ham

#3 Gylfi Sigurdsson

Sigurdsson has impressed in a woeful season for Swansea City

A player rich with Premier League experience, Sigurdsson is one of the very best footballers in the division outside the top clubs. The darling of Swansea City fans has been as productive as ever this season, but the club as a whole have failed to impress.

Barring Swansea’s inspiring win against mighty Liverpool last week, the Welsh club still needs to come up with quite a fight to stave off relegation by the end of the season which makes it easier for West Ham to lure the poster boy of Icelandic football away.

Sigurdsson may not have the dribbling skills of Payet, but his productivity is unquestionable. One of the best set-piece takers in the Premier League, the experienced Sigurdsson is a good link between the midfield and attack and has an eye for a pass.
