# West Ham to offer Michail Antonio a big new deal

Michail Antonio’s wondrous form for West Ham is set to be rewarded with a second new contract in eight months, the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4272860/West-Ham-set-offer-Michail-Antonio-new-contract.html) understand.

The winger has been West Ham’s standout performer this season, stepping up to the plate earlier in the season to score crucial goals for the Hammers and his tally of eight makes him the club’s top scorer in 2016/17.

His form has rightly caught the eye of some of the Premier League’s top clubs with both Chelsea and Manchester United having been linked in the past.

West Ham have moved fast to try and tie Antonio down to a new long-term contract and will offer him terms which will see his wages double to £70,000-a-week.

This would be the second new contract in eight months for Antonio who signed a new four-year deal in July 2016 after a tremendous second half of the 2015/16 season following his £7m move from Nottingham Forest.

Antonio has been West Ham’s ‘Mr. Versatile’ this season and has performed well wherever he’s played and will be a key member of the first-team for years to come.
