Dimitri Payet impressed on his return to international football on Friday in France's 3-2 win over Holland.

Dimitri Payet received a resounding vote of approval from Didier Deschamps after the West Ham United midfielder made an impressive return to international football with a starring role in France's 3-2 win over Holland in Amsterdam on Friday.

"He confirmed with us what he has been doing with his club," said the France manager of Payet's form in recent months. "Every time he touched the ball, he made something happen. He has enormous qualities and made a massive effort. He is on top form." .

Payet last played for France in June last year against Albania but forced a return to the side after starring roles for West Ham and was preferred to Manchester United's Anthony Martial in the France starting lineup.

He revelled in an attacking midfield role, forcing the first save of the match from Jasper Cillessen after only four minutes. On the hour mark Payet's strong run from the middle and subsequent shot struck the base of the post.

The 28-year-old, who has 16 caps, is a strong candidate for a place in the French squad for the European Championship. The team continue their preparations on Tuesday against Russia in Paris and the squad for Euro 2016 will be named on 12 May. France open the tournament against Romania in Paris on 10 June.
