FOOTBALL fans have been left baffled after Dimitri Payet completed his move to Brazilian side Vasco da Gama.
West Ham legend Payet, 36, left Marseille in June after six and a half years with the club.
As a free agent, he was linked with fellow French sides Nantes and Nice, as well as a move to Saudi Arabia.
But he has ended up penning a pre-contract agreement with South American outfit Vasco da Gama.
And many punters are confused as to why he has chosen the Brazilian side.

A third added: "Wow ????. Vasco De Gama".
And a fourth responded: "Never would have put him to that club, it’s a weird one."
Payet arrived at West Ham from Marseille in 2015.

He racked up 12 goals and 15 assists in 38 appearances - including one of the all-time great free-kicks against Crystal Palace.
But a poor start to the following season ultimately saw him return to Marseille in January 2017.
And he played another 243 games for the club, netting 63 goals.
