West Ham United are unlikely to sell Fulham target Michail Antonio in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri is interested in securing the services of the former Nottingham Forest winger this month.

The report, though, has claimed that West Ham are unlikely to want the 28-year-old to leave the London Stadium in the middle of the season.

Sensible stance

Antonio is a very good player who is versatile enough to operate in a number of positions.

West Ham need to keep hold of the former Sheffield Wednesday star, who is an important player in manager Manuel Pellegrini’s team and will be of huge help as the season progresses.

According to WhoScored, the 28-year-old has made 12 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Hammers so far this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in the process.

During the 2017-18 campaign, Antonio scored three goals and provided one assist in 21 league games for West Ham, according to WhoScored.
