West Ham United winger Michail Antonio has told Sky Sports that Sheffield Wednesday defender Jack Hunt is the best right-back he has ever played with.
Antonio, who joined West Ham in the summer of 2015, played with Hunt at Nottingham Forest in 2014.
“Right back I am going to go for Jack Hunt,” the 26-year-old told Sky Sports. “Defensively he is quality, but going forward he is always a threat.
“I played with him at Nottingham Forest and the amount of assists he gets a season and the amount of times he beats a player…definitely Jack Hunt is going to be my right back.”
Hunt is a good defender and is a key player in the current Wednesday team.
The 26-year-old has featured in 14 Championship appearances for Wednesday so far this season, creating 14 chances in the process.
The Owls are sixth in the Championship table at the moment with 42 points from 25 matches.
