This is West Ham’s dream January midfield including this key target

RWB – Michail Antonio

West Ham’s top goal-scorer this season and called up to Gareth Southgate’s first England squad, Michail Antonio has had a decent couple of months.

The 26-year-old moved to East London last year after an excellent spell with Championship side Nottingham Forest, and he adapted to the top-flight effortlessly with nine goals in his first season.

However, he has taken it up a notch this time around, and has already netted six times for the club, including the winning goal in their 1-0 win over Bournemouth back in September.

Antonio is a ready-made wing-back, as he is defensively very strong and also likes getting wide and putting crosses into the box.

His energy and work rate is excellent, and he’s sure to be a regular feature in the West Ham team this season.
