Palace eyeing move for Michail Antonio

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is reportedly interested in signing West Ham striker Michail Antonio.

The 28-year-old moved to West Ham in 2015, and has been hit by a series of injuries in that time.

However, the Englishman was able to find the pitch a sufficient amount in the 2016/17 season to endear himself to the Hammers’ faithful, being named the Player of the Year.

As of the time of writing, the Football League journeyman has played 76 times for West Ham, finding the net on 20 occasions.

Offering great versatility as a forward, Antonio has played on both wings, and as a striker.

Reports are now suggesting however that Hodgson is keen for the ex-non league star to make the journey down from the London Stadium to Selhurst Park.

With Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend already in place for the eagles, the former England manager seems to be eyeing up Antonio as the final piece of the puzzle for his dream front-three.
