Dimitri Payet is on Mesut Ozil's level according to Trevor Sinclair

Payet joined the Hammers from Marseille this summer and has been one of the signings of the season.

The 28-year-old France international has been a revelation for Slaven Bilic's side as they threaten to upset the top order of the Premier League.

West Ham are sixth, just a point below Manchester United, and their return to form has been helped by Payet's return from injury.
