# Antonio signs new four-year deal

Michail Antonio has signed a new four-year deal with West Ham, keeping him at the Club until June 2020.

> Twitter: We are delighted to announce that @Michailantonio has signed a new deal! ?? ➡️[https://t.co/nGjPUzbiuI](https://t.co/nGjPUzbiuI)[https://t.co/ZiE78X5KYd](https://t.co/ZiE78X5KYd) (@whufc\_official)

Antonio arrived from Nottingham Forest last summer in a deal worth £7million and has been a huge hit so far.

The highly-rated winger scored eight times and assisted four in 26 league appearances last season, despite being made to play at right-back for seven of these. When at right-midfield, Antonio was involved in a goal (scored/assisted) every 159 minutes.

Antonio says he is delighted to sign a new deal with the Hammers and is looking forward to his first appearance at the new stadium.

“I am delighted to have signed a new contract. I am happy that the manager and the chairman have showed their belief in me to give me a new deal,” he told the [official website](https://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2016/July/4-July/Antonio-signs-new-contract) .

> I have always believed in my own ability and when I am given the opportunity I will take it and hopefully I have showed that.

“I had to be patient when I first arrived, but once I got the chance I never looked back and hopefully I can now push on and do even better than what I did last season.”

Now Roy Hodgson has resigned from his role as England manager, Antonio may now stand a chance of being selected for the national team – provided Hodgson’s replacement selects his squad based on merit.
