The West Ham winger was a surprise inclusion in the Three Lions set up, with only one season of Premier League football under his belt.
Bilic believes Payet’s return will help improve West Ham’s overall quality on the pitch.
“We watched a lot of Real Madrid games like everybody else and he’s a great professional, a player of great experience and I’m sure he’s going to help us a lot”.
England defeated Slovakia 1-0 to get Allardyce’s reign off to a winning start in World Cup qualifying, though Antonio had to be content with a spot on the bench.
We are delighted that we have been able to bring in 12 players who will hopefully make our squad even stronger.
When asked about his historic strikes, Kouyate admitted “I’m very happy to score the two goals because I will never forget this moment”, and gushed to the paper “If I have kids I will tell them your father scored the first goals at this stadium”. This is because if I don’t beat them for pace then I can beat them for strength, if I can’t beat them for strength then I’ll beat them for pace.

Sullivan says boss Slaven Bilic needed to find a new right-back after it was decided Michail Antonio would be deployed most often as a winger and the co-chairman is pleased with the depth and balance of the squad.
