West Ham United winger Michail Antonio has been linked with Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

Michail Antonio of West Ham United looks dejected during the Premier League match between West Ham United and Burnley at London Stadium on March 10, 2018 in London, England.

Crystal Palace are interested in signing Michail Antonio in the summer transfer window, but the London club fear that West Ham United’s asking price would be too high, according to The Guardian.

It has been reported that Palace manager Roy Hodgson wants to secure the services of the former Nottingham Forest winger this season, but the Eagles reportedly fear that the Hammers could place too high a price on the 28-year-old.

Good signing for Crystal Palace?

Antonio is a very good winger who has proved himself in the Premier League and would be a brilliant signing for Palace in the summer transfer window.

The former Forest star has also demonstrated his versatility by playing up front and at full-back, and that would come in handy for the Eagles.

However, West Ham may not be willing to sell the winger for those very reasons, especially as the London club will have a new manager in place for next season.

According to The Daily Mail, Antonio earns £70,000 per week as salary at West Ham, who like Palace, narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship this season.
