Wilfried Zaha has told Fantasy Premier League that West Ham striker Michail Antonio goes ‘under the radar’ after he was asked to name the best forward in the league this season.

The Crystal Palace trickster stated that the all-action forward is ‘amazing’, as he hailed him for continually coming back from his injuries at West Ham.

Alongside West Ham, Antonio has enjoyed a very fruitful campaign in Claret & Blue colours, as he will be preparing for Europe next term.

And Zaha has clearly been impressed by the versatile attacker, as West Ham fans would love what he had to say about their player.

“Who has been the best striker? Do you know what, I was going to pick the usual people, but I am not this time,” said Zaha.

“I am going to go for something different. Michail Antonio has been amazing.

“He’s a bit under the radar. But what he’s been able to do, especially coming back from injury. And it just goes to show what hard work does, really.”

Well, David Moyes and his band will be marching their way through Europe next term, led by their striker, Antonio.

It will be interesting to see how much business the Hammers conduct because their squad will now need bulking up.

And the forward positions is one area that needs looking at because will Jesse Lingard be brought back?

And will another striker walk through the door because the Hammers cannot rely on Antonio, especially given his injury record.
