Who is the best set-piece taker in world football?

#6 Dimitri Payet

Dimitri Payet
Payet is undoubtedly one of the best free-kick takers in world football at the moment

One of the most dreaded set piece takers in world football at the moment, Dimitri Payet has scored some unbelievable free-kicks in the last year. The Frenchman's incredible set-piece abilities had made him a firm fan favourite at West Ham until he made a controversial move back to Ligue 1 giants Marseille.

Capable of getting the ball to dip and swerve in scarcely believable angles, Payet’s distinctive free-kicks almost give the opposition goalkeeper no chance of saving them. One of the best French midfielders at the moment, Payet is considered by many to be the most consistent free-kick taker at the moment.

The 30-year-old will be looking to continue performing at the same level and contribute significantly to both Marseille and the French national team in the coming years.
