Michail Antonio does not want to leave West Ham United, according to the Guardian.

West Ham are trying to negotiate a new contract with Antonio, which will reward him for his fine form towards the end of the last campaign.

Antonio is set to become one of the Hammers’ top earners, and David Moyes thinks that agreeing a new deal with the 30-year-old should be no problem.

Antonio was actually used as a striker by Moyes after the Premier League’s restart last term, and he proved to be a huge threat.

The £7 million attacker scored eight goals in the last seven games of the season to help West Ham stay in the top flight, with David Moyes praising the forward and calling him a ‘great’ player in the Newham Recorder.

Antonio’s excellent form is sure to have attracted admiring glances from other clubs, but he has no desire to leave the London Stadium.

And it is fully expected that Antonio will now commit his future to West Ham sooner rather than later, in what should be some excellent news for the London club.
