Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race to sign one of West Ham United’s best players according to the bookies.
West Ham United’s Michail Antonio in action
Popular bookmakers BETVICTOR have slashed the odds on United and Spurs making a dramatic swoop for Hammers star Michail Antonio in the summer.
West Ham have endured a miserable campaign in the Premier League this season, but the 26-year-old winger has been one of the few shining lights for Slaven Bilic’s team of underperforming flops.
The former Nottingham Forest man moved to the East London outfit in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be in the region of £7 million, and has since gone on to establish himself as one of the league’s finest attacking wide-men.
And BETVICTOR believe that he could leave the London Stadium this summer. Chelsea have been consistently linked with a move for Antonio, and are still favourites to win the race for his signature at 3/1, but the bookies have shortened the odds on the Red Devils (4/1) and Tottenham (5/1), making them second and third favourites respectively.

Bilic will surely want to keep hold of arguably his best player, and must do everything within his power to ensure that he remains at the club during the off-season.
Antonio is one of the most popular players at West Ham, and allowing him to leave the club could lead to a revolt amongst the supporters.
As has proved to be the case so often in football, however, money talks, and it can be extremely difficult for both player and club to resist the overtures of one of the the Premier League’s elite clubs.
