Crystal Palace were also credited with an interest in the West Ham United winger a year ago.

West Ham United's Michail Antonio

West Ham United fans are reacting reports linking the Hammers winger, Michail Antonio, with Crystal Palace.

According to the Daily Mirror,Palace are ‘plotting a move’ for Antonio, whom they failed to sign a year ago.

But the newspaper claims ‘there is now a feeling’ that the Eagles can convince West Ham to sell.

Crystal Palace’s need for the 29-year-old could increase if Wilfried Zaha is sold, amid reports of interest from Arsenal and Everton, among others.

While West Ham have strengthened their attack through the signings of Pablo Fornals and Sebastien Haller, whose arrivals, it is suggested, could see Antonio’s opportunities limited this coming campaign.

But it seems that few of a Hammers persuasion would welcome the Wandsworth native’s sale.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

The Daily Telegraph reported this time last year that Crystal Palace were weighing up a £15 million offer for Antonio.

But how much the Eagles would be willing to pay now, not to mention how much West Ham would be willing to accept, remains to be seen.

The former non-league player still has two years left on what is, according to the Guardian, a £70,000-a-week contract at the London Stadium.
