Wolves interested in West Ham's prolific striker
- Wolves interested in West Ham's prolific striker Michail Antonio.
- Antonio scored 82 goals for West Ham winning the UEFA Conference League 2023.
Recently, it was reported that English forward Danny Ings can leave West Ham this summer. With the arrival of new signing Niclas Fullkrug as the new number nine for the Hammers, it is expected that West Ham can sell one of Michail Antonio and Danny Ings this summer.
Now, according to GIVEMESPORT, Premier League club Wolves are interested to sign West Ham's prolific striker Michail Antonio. Arriving in 2015, Antonio has made 302 appearances for the Hammers scoring 82 goals and providing 40 assists. Antonio was in brilliant form in West Ham's UEFA Conference League win in 2023 as he scored six goals and provided two assists.

However, Antonio can leave West Ham after nine years at the London Stadium. Wolves want an experienced striker in their squad and thus are interested in signing Antonio ahead of the upcoming season.
If Antonio leaves the Hammers this summer, West Ham will need to bring in a new centre forward to replace him. Recently, West Ham are interested in signing former Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham this summer.
Abraham won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea and joined Roma in 2021. The 26-year-old played brilliant for Roma and scored 27 goals in his first season at Roma as they won the UEFA Conference League in 2022. Another forward that West Ham can sign is Samu Omorodion. Also, Wolves are interested in Antonio and haven't submitted an opening bid to West Ham for Antonio.
Although Michail Antonio is 34 years old, West Ham should keep him in their squad as the second choice centre forward after Niclas Fullkrug. It remains to be seen whether Wolves submit an opening bid to sign Michail Antonio from West Ham in this transfer window.
