Michail Antonio contract talks on hold

Posted by Sean Whetstone on July 8, 2020 in News, Whispers

West Ham will not entertain contract talks for Michail Antonio until West Ham’s Premier League status is decided David Moyes says.

The thirty-year-old who has two goals in the last two games has reportedly said he wants to pen a new long term contract to finish his football playing career as a Hammer.

Asked at yesterday’s Zoom press conference the West Ham manager said  “I think it is something that once we are in a position to look at it, we can look at it but I don’t think it is something we are jumping all over just now. First of all we need to find out what league we are in, we have got a job to do. We have not taken our focus for one minute away from the next game. Maybe at the end of the season it will be something we will look at.”
Antonio signed for West Ham for around £7 million  from Nottingham Forest on a four-year contract with an option for a further two years in September 2015

He made his debut on 19 September 2015, replacing Victor Moses in the 60th minute of West Ham’s 2–1 Premier League win at Manchester City. In a Man of the match performance on 28 December 2015 in a 2–1 win, Antonio scored his first goal for West Ham. With the team losing 1–0 to Southampton, Antonio equalised when a clearance hit him and looped over Southampton goalkeeper.

In July 2016, Antonio signed a new, four-year contract with West Ham. For his performances during the 2016–17 season, Antonio was named Hammer of the Year and on 11 May 2017, West Ham announced that Antonio had signed a new, four-year contract taking him to June 2021.

Antonio scored the first goal by a visiting player at the new Spurs Hotspur Stadium, on 27 April 2019, as West Ham won 1–0, becoming the first away team to win at the stadium
