West Ham United are reportedly willing to sell the winger this summer.
According to a report from Sky Sports, West Ham will listen to offers in the region of £15 million for Michail Antonio this summer, and if they do sell him for that amount, it could turn out to be a huge mistake from the Hammers.
The 28-year-old joined West Ham from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £7 million, and he has gone on to establish himself as one of the club’s most important players.
In 90 appearances for the Hammers, Antonio has chalked up 21 goals and 11 assists – a rather remarkable tally considering the fact that he was deployed in the right-back position for a large chunk of the 2016/17 season.
Every Love Island contestant if they were an England player – World Cup!
Manuel Pellegrini has begun his summer rebuild at the London Stadium in earnest, making a succession of exciting new signings, but keeping hold of Antonio will be vital to their hopes of enjoying a successful Premier League campaign.
According to the Sun, Crystal Palace are one of the clubs who are interested in signing Antonio, and the east London outfit would be making a huge mistake selling one of their key men to a direct Premier League rival for just £15 million.
The former Forest man still has plenty of years left ahead of him and a lot to offer at the very highest level.
West Ham should keep hold of him, but if they do end up selling him, they should demand a heck of a lot more than the £15 million that has been reported.
