Former Olympique de Marseille star Payet has made a move to Vasco da Gama in Brazil, where he now plays alongside his former France teammate Griezmann.

"Many players cannot come to Marseille, because it is Marseille and they are in clubs that can be considered bigger, but they dream of playing at the (Stade) Vélodrome - and they love it," Payet told France Bleu Provence.

"The first one that comes to mind is 'Grizou'.

"He has always said that he wants to play for Marseille, that the Stade Vélodrome is something for him. Every time we were there with the national team."
