Crystal Palace leading chase for Michail Antonio

West Ham winger Michail Antonio looks set to leave the Hammers this summer, and Crystal Palace are reportedly ready to make a move, according to the Mirror.

The 28-year-old has been told by West Ham that he is “not in the club’s long-term plans”, leaving them open to offers for the Englishman.

Palace are looking for additional attacking options this summer and are monitoring Antonio’s situation.

The report also states that there may be significant interest from other Premier League clubs, leaving Roy Hodgson’s men with competition if they do want to gain the player’s services.

With the ability to play in a number of positions – including left-back, left and right midfield and striker –  Antonio would be a welcome addition to Palace’s squad, with his dribbling,  and counter-attacking ability bringing a boost to the Eagles attack.

Since joining the East London club from Nottingham Forest back in 2015, he has played 90 times, scoring 21 goals – 20 of which have come in his 76 Premier League appearances.
