Former West Ham manager Harry Redknapp has been lauding the form of current Iron, Michail Antonio.
The 31-year-old striker became the club’s record Premier League goalscorer on Monday night with a superb brace against Leicester City.
Those strikes took the Jamaican registered international to 49 strikes for the Hammers in the top flight and three for the new season from two outings.
Speaking to talkSPORT (Thursday, August 26 7:40am), Redknapp was full of praise for the versatile star.
It was a great night the other night. I love watching them. Seeing the fans, they have got great support, West Ham – the atmosphere was electric. David Moyes has just done an amazing job. I love the team. Dawson, what a free transfer he was. The two Czech boys, the right-back and the midfield player. How good have they been? Antonio is unplayable, at the moment, He looks such a good player. The team is looking great, let’s hope it continues and it will hopefully be a great year for West Ham.
Last season, Antonio scored 10 league goals and registered five assists in an outstanding campaign for the Hammers.

This current squad, manager and overall feel-good factor certainly have all the makings of a wonderful 2021/22 season.
However, the fact remains that without delving into a perceived £45million transfer war-chest in the final days of the window, the resources will perhaps be stretched too far as the year wears on.
Were smart incomings to be completed before the deadline on Tuesday night – perhaps starting with Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma – the ‘unplayable’ Antonio and co would surely be set for another remarkable campaign.
