Antonio claims Payet negativity has bought positivity

Michail Antonio claims that all the negativity around Payet has helped the squad to dig in together and bring positivity back to the club.

Speaking on Soccer AM this morning West Ham’s leading goal scorer told viewers:

“I believe with all the negativity happening outside. All they’re doing is talking about Dimi, and what he’s done, stuff like that, and they’re forgetting that there’s a squad there. We’ve kinda dug in together and said, ‘You know what? Forget all the negativity that’s happening. Let’s bring some positivity back to the club.”

“I’ve not really spoken to him myself. The only time I really spoke to him was around the training ground where we had casual conversations, so I’ve not really had the opportunity to speak to him.”
