The agent in charge of Michail Antonio’s future

The man in charge of Michail Antonio’s future is an agent called Will Salthouse who is the CEO from Unique Sports Mangement. Along with Aaron Cresswell, Pedro Obiang and Cheik Kouyate he is Antonio’s agent.  His other high profile clients include Harry Kane, Wilfred Zaha, Tom Cairney, Callum Wilson, Andros Townsend and Jamaal Lascelles to name a few.

Earlier this week Ryan Fredericks joined his stable and former Hammer Darren Randolph is also a client.

Football agent Salthouse is good friends with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish. The interest in Michail Antonio by the Eagles is said to be very real in terms of an enquiry but they don’t come anywhere near West Ham’s valuation.

Salthouse will likely be looking for a big payday in moving his client Wilfred Zaha to one of the top four teams this summer for a massive transfer fee and they could leave significant finances for Palace to pay a proper transfer fee for Antonio earning Salthouse another agent fee.

Antonio remains injured at the moment while he recovers from a hamstring operation. He is expected to return in the third week of August but will need a pre-season before he regains his match fitness.
