West Ham have officially announced that winger Michail Antonio has signed a new contract which will keep him at the Club until 2020. The 26-year-old added an additional year to his existing four year contract which had three years to run.
Antonio told WHUFC.com: “I am delighted to have signed a new contract. I am happy that the manager and the chairman have showed their belief in me to give me a new deal.I have always believed in my own ability and when I am given the opportunity I will take it and hopefully I have showed that.”
“I had to be patient when I first arrived, but once I got the chance I never looked back and hopefully I can now push on and do even better than what I did last season.”
With the birth of his third child imminent, Antonio has sat out the Club’s tour to the United States, but has been training hard at Chadwell Heath ahead of linking up with his teammates for pre-season.
