Chelsea in for Antonio

Chelsea are considering a move for West Ham United midfielder Michail Antonio, according to the Mail Online.

The Premier League leaders are looking to add to their squad this month as they look to reclaim the championship from Leicester City, and have also been linked with Swansea City forward Fernando Llorente.

Antonio has been the stand out player for the Hammers over the past eighteen months, and is this season already just one goal away from matching his tally of nine from last term.

Since signing from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2015, the twenty-six year old has played fifty-nine times in all competitions while he received his first England call-up back in September though he is yet to make his international debut.

Antonio Conte’s men lost for the first time in fourteen league matches last Wednesday but remain favourites to finish the season in first place at a price of 8/11.
