West Ham United could be willing to listen to offers for Michail Antonio during the summer transfer window, according to the Guardian.

Antonio has scored or made 32 goals in 90 West Ham games since his £8.5 million leap from Championship football, but endured his worst season as a Hammers player last term, in which he suffered various injury lay-offs.

However, with a record like the above and after earning England recognition as recently as March 2017, the versatile winger would still be a useful addition for most Premier League clubs.

And after the culmination of Fulham’s loans for Sheyi Ojo and Lucas Piazon this summer, not to mention the uncertain future of Cottagers right-back and reported West Ham target Ryan Fredericks, SW6 could be a logical destination.

Factor in too that Antonio is already well known to one member of Fulham’s coaching team, Stuart Gray – after playing under the 58-year-old during Gray’s two years as Sheffield Wednesday’s assistant manager/head coach – it may be one to keep an eye on.
