Michail Antonio missed a very good chance for West Ham United against Manchester City last weekend.
The 28-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest winger has provided one assist in 524 minutes of Premier League football for West Ham so far this season, according to WhoScored.
The former Reading man’s only goal of the season so far has been in the EFL Cup.
Antonio missed a very good chance to double his tally for the campaign against Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend.
West Ham boss Pellegrini has suggested that he wants Antonio – who earns £70,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – to score more goals.
Pellegrini told The Mirror about Antonio: “If you have two or three clear chances, you must score. It’s not just to demonstrate you can do it, you must score.
“Maybe the two chances he had, if he had scored, would have changed the game. So on one side you are happy because of the way he is playing and on the other he is not scoring – and he must score.”
Linked away
Antonio has been linked with a move away from West Ham in the January transfer window.
The Sun (print edition, page 47, November 12, 2018), Crystal Palace are interested in the English winger (click here to read more).
West Ham are 14th in the Premier League table at the moment with 12 points from 13 matches, just three points above the relegation zone.
