The West Ham United winger has been in fine form this season.
West Ham defender Fabian Balbuena took part in a Q&A session for the club’s official website, and named Michail Antonio as the strongest player currently present in the Hammers’ squad.
The 28-year-old joined West Ham from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2015, and he has gone on to be a real hit at the club, chalking up 24 goals and 15 assists in 114 appearances in all competitions for the club.
Antonio has played in a variety of positions during his time with the Hammers, and he is undoubtedly one of Manuel Pellegrini’s most important players, especially considering his versatility.
Balbuena, who arrived at West Ham in the summer, praised the former Forest man’s strength, when taking part in a Q&A session for the club’s official website:
“Michail Antonio is the strongest in our squad, he’s very strong.”
West Ham are expected to make a sustained push for the top seven this season, and if they are to have any chance whatsoever of earning a place in the Europa League next season, Antonio will surely have to be on his best form between now and May.
