West Ham United forward Michail Antonio has showered praise on one of his teammates in particular.
Michail Antonio has just returned back to full fitness, and West Ham boss David Moyes told the press that the 34-year-old offers his side a completely different dimension.
The Jamaican missed three months of the campaign for the Hammers from November to February after he picked up an injury whilst away on international duty.
Now he’s back fully fit and firing on all cylinders, West Ham have a genuine chance of pushing on and finishing inside the top seven.
We have one of the most potent attacking lineups in the Premier League. Alongside Antonio, Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta complete our front-line.
And Antonio named one of those players as ‘actually unbelievable’…
Michail Antonio raves about West Ham teammate
The Hammers forward must be loving life right now playing alongside the England, Ghana and Brazil internationals.
On his day, the Jamaican can be just as dangerous as those three names mentioned above as well. However, it’s fair to say that Bowen, Kudus and Paqueta are all on a different level to Antonio – he would admit that himself.
Micky spoke to TNT Sports and lauded one of them in particular:
“I just feel it’s his humbleness; his grounding. His low centre of gravity, his trickery with the ball and his eye for a goal”, Antonio responded when asked about Kudus.
“A lot of people will come to the Premier League and realise how fast-paced and strong you need to be and the pace of the football. Normally when you play in other leagues, you just need one of the three but in the Premier League you need to have all three. And Kudus has it and has it in abundance. That’s why I feel like he’s managed to come in and do it so easy.”
“When he first came, he was quite quiet. He kept himself to himself and kept everything quite basic in training. As he’s built his confidence in games, in training he’s just come alive. The certain things he’s been doing in training… it’s like the ball is glued to his feet, it’s actually unbelievable.”
Kudus certainly has been unbelievable for us this season. He has 12 goals and four assists in 34 games to his name for the Hammers so far (Transfermarkt).
The way that he has adapted to the Premier League having come in from the Eredivisie has been quite remarkable to watch. He has been praised to the hilt by numerous pundits including the likes of Gary Neville.
Michail Antonio is clearly a huge fan of his West Ham teammate, and I fully expect Kudus to keep getting better and better as time goes on.
The 23-year-old attacker is already getting close to elite levels in my book.
