Reports have emerged that Michail Antonio is a summer transfer target for both Manchester United and Chelsea.
Fan favourite Antonio is having another stellar season in a Hammers shirt and is the club’s leading scorer with eight Premier League goals so far this campaign.
The versatile wideman was called up to the England squad under disgraced ex-manager Sam Allardyce in August and is now a transfer target for two of England’s best performing clubs, reports the Express.
Everton are also said to be interested but the likelihood of West Ham selling to the Toffees, let alone the big guns, is likely next to none.
26-year-old Antonio is admired for the sheer number of positions he can play as well as his outstanding work rate, attributes particularly favoured by Chelsea’s Antonio Conte.
Conte is apparently eyeing him for a wing-back role in his 3-4-3 formation, possibly to replace ex-Hammer Victor Moses on the right.
