Who is Michail Antonio?
Michail Antonio, the 34-year-old forward, has been a stalwart for West Ham United since joining the club in 2015. Over the years, he has cemented his legacy as the Hammers’ all-time leading goal scorer in Premier League history, netting 68 goals in 268 appearances. This season, Antonio has featured in all 14 Premier League matches, contributing one goal and one assist to his team’s campaign.
Antonio’s professional journey began in 2008 with Tooting & Mitcham United, where he played just four matches before moving to Reading. During his time at Reading (2008–2012), he was loaned out to several clubs to gain experience. A notable chapter in his career came with Sheffield Wednesday, where he spent two productive years from 2012 to 2014. Following a one-year stint with Nottingham Forest, Antonio made the leap to West Ham United in September 2015.
On the international stage, Antonio has represented Jamaica since 2021. A highlight of his national team career came on June 26, when he scored Jamaica’s first-ever goal in Copa América history during a 3-1 defeat against Ecuador. Antonio’s blend of club success and international contributions continues to showcase his enduring impact on the game.
