Wolves are reportedly considering a move to bring West Ham United striker Michail Antonio to Molineux before the transfer deadline, as per reports from GiveMeSport.
Gary O’Neil is said to be interested in exploring the possibility of acquiring the Jamaican forward this summer, especially now that West Ham has strengthened their attacking options with Niclas Fullkrug.
With uncertainty surrounding Antonio’s role in Julen Lopetegui’s plans for the upcoming season, the Irons may be open to letting the 34-year-old go before the transfer window closes.
Several clubs, including West Ham’s Premier League rivals, are monitoring Antonio’s situation and may be looking to add his experience to their squad. The recent signing of Fullkrug has potentially reshuffled the forward lineup at West Ham, leaving Antonio and others competing for playing time.
Whether Antonio is willing to accept a reduced role or if West Ham will accommodate such a change remains to be seen. Speculation about his potential departure during transfer windows is nothing new, but he has consistently remained a key player for the club.
Ultimately, Lopetegui will have to determine Antonio’s future with West Ham and whether the seasoned striker still has a significant role to play in the upcoming season.
