West Ham United (zbiorczy)

[League]

Michail Antonio will seek to leave West Ham United this summer after the collapse of his relationship with the board and resentment over the club’s handling of a hamstring injury that has ended his season.
The 27-year-old has rejected a new contract due to unhappiness at being offered significantly lower wages than West Ham’s January signings, Robert Snodgrass and José Fonte.
Antonio’s performances have made him a favourite among West Ham supporters, who have already seen Dimitri Payet, the team’s star player, leave amid acrimony this season. Antonio attracted interest from Chelsea during the last transfer window and is determined to force his way out of the London Stadium this summer although, with four years left on his contract, West Ham are in a strong position and will be able to demand a large fee.
Antonio’s disgruntlement at the club’s contract offer has been exacerbated by the fact that he allowed himself to be rushed back from a hamstring injury this month before breaking down again.
He was injured in the home defeat to Leicester City last month, which led to him withdrawing from the England squad for matches against Germany and Lithuania. Antonio returned to face Arsenal and Swansea City at the start of this month but was substituted before half-time in both matches. The Londoner has been named in three separate England squads this season but has yet to make his debut. Antonio has been West Ham’s most consistent performer in their difficult campaign, scoring nine goals and playing in a variety of positions including right back and centre forward, and feels that his commitment has been taken for granted.
Having opened talks over an improvement on his £35,000-a-week contract after his first England call-up, Antonio discovered that he had been offered far less than West Ham’s recent signings and believes that the club are seeking to take advantage of the fact that he was signed from Nottingham Forest on relatively modest wages.
West Ham are hopeful of reviving the talks in the summer but Antonio is adamant that he wants to move.
