The West Ham United man has struggled for form this season.

Hammers boss David Moyes addressed the media yesterday, and discussed the form of Michail Antonio, suggesting that he is getting back to somewhere near his best, as quoted by the club’s official website.

Antonio, 27, has endured a tough season at the London Stadium – one that has been interrupted by injury, and has made just 18 Premier League appearances this season, chipping in with just two goals and one assist in the process.

The former Nottingham Forest man came off the substitutes bench to score away at Liverpool last weekend, and the West Ham fans will be hoping that they will once again see the best of the winger during their club’s run-in.

Moyes spoke to reporters about Antonio’s current form, and highlighted how much better he has been of late, as quoted by the club’s official website:

“Michail has been much better. He’s been on it, he’s had an impact. I like him a lot, I think he’s got a lot of good attributes and a lot of good things going for him.”

West Ham have a tremendously tough run-in ahead of them in the Premier League, with their top flight status far from secured, and they will need Antonio to get back to his very best as soon as possible, if they are to finish the season on a high.
