Michail Antonio: Matching Europe's Best

West Ham United are having an excellent campaign. Currently in March and still challenging for European places, David Moyes has taken a side that finished 16th last season, to a season that surely no one could’ve seen coming.

They’ve done this through hard work, defensive resilience, tactical flexibility and outstanding recruitment. It's these new recruits, notably the outstanding Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal, that will be given the most praise come the end of the season. There is however, one man who in my opinion has stepped up more than the rest. Michail Antonio.

Vladimír Coufal: The Bargain of the Summer?

After the misfiring Sébastien Haller completed his move to Ajax in January, Antonio went from stand-in centre forward to first-choice striker. No replacement was signed as Antonio, who had already shown his goal-getting ability, took on the responsibility.
