The player has made just 21 Premier League appearances this season and according to the imaginative minds on the Sun sports desk “the former Nottingham Forest man could jump at the chance to join Palace following their impressive revival under Hodgson.”
They follow that with a reminder of the former England boss’ achievements which currently see the team 11th in the table.
They then claim that Hodgson wants to add the “missing piece in his jigsaw” – Antonio – to jon the likes of of Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend.
Antonio – they remind us – signed a new four-year contract with West Ham last season while Slaven Bilic was still in charge, but it remains to be seen if he still has a future under David Moyes.
Interesting that because if Moyes really is staying that may have been a more emphatic story but in the world off assumptions, supposition is king I s’pose!
