West Ham United winger Michail Antonio is one of the best players in his position in the Premier League. Antonio may not have played in the top flight of English football for too many years, but there can be no doubt that he is a superb footballer.

Antonio has been playing well for West Ham this season. The Englishman has even been deployed at right-back on occasions. The 26-year-old is strong, has pace and works hard.

The former Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest winger has scored eight goals and created 26 chances in 25 Premier League matches for the Hammers so far this season.

According to Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier, Antonio is every manager’s dream player.

“I will tell you what he is: he is a manager’s dream,” said Le Tissier on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ last Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, March 4, 2017).

West Ham are 11th in the Premier League table at the moment with 33 points from 27 matches.

Slaven Bilic’s side will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League.

The Hammers are very much in the running for a top-10 finish in the Premier League this season.
