Kevin Campbell has said on Highbury Squad that West Ham United striker Michail Antonio could make a real difference at Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
However, Campbell has predicted that West Ham would not sell Antonio to Arsenal.
The former Arsenal striker made the comments about the 31-year-old while discussing potential transfer targets for the Gunners.
Campbell said about Antonio on Highbury Squad: “He could make a real difference, but West Ham would never sell him. They would be crazy to sell him.”
Michail Antonio would make Arsenal better
Antonio is not a natural striker.
The Jamaica international was playing as a winger and as right-back before West Ham manager David Moyes decided to play him upfront.
And he has been brilliant.
The West Ham no. 9 has scored six goals and provided three assists in 10 Premier League games already this season.
Arsenal are doing in attack, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back among the goals.
However, Antonio is a different kind of player.
The former Nottingham Forest man works hard, finishes well, is strong and can hold off defenders, and makes intelligent runs.
Having said all that, we have to agree with Campbell.
West Ham would not sell Antonio to Arsenal.
Not that the Gunners actually want to sign the striker…
