Crystal Palace lining up Antonio as Zaha replacement

Crystal Palace have identified West Ham winger Michail Antonio as a possible replacement for Wilfried Zaha this summer.

According to Football Insider, Crystal Palace are showing an interest in signing Antonio ahead of next season.

The report claims that Palace are planning for life after Zaha, although it is not yet decided as to where the Ivorian international will be during the 2019/20 campaign.

Antonio is being lined up as a replacement, following some impressive performances for West Ham this term.

The 29-year-old scored seven goals in all competitions for West Ham this season, after scoring just three the previous year.

Zaha, meanwhile, enjoyed his best goalscoring season for Palace – netting 10 times in the Premier League and providing a further five assists. 

The report claims that West Ham do not want to lose Antonio and are bracing themselves for an offer from Palace as they look to keep hold of him this summer.
