Zinedine Zidane eyes compatriot Dimitri Payet as James Rodriguez replacement
West Ham star Dimitri Payet has been targeted by La Liga giants Real Madrid as a replacement of James Rodriguez who is rumoured to be edging closer to the Santiago Bernabeu exit door. Scorer of 9 goals in all competitions this season, Payet is believed to be Zinedine’s Zidane top target to strengthen the Marengues’ midfield alongside Inter ace Marcelo Brozovic.
The 1998 France World Cup hero is very likely to remain in charge of the Blancos in the next campaign, whilst James Rodriguez has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Juventus.
