Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing West Ham United striker Michail Antonio in the summer transfer window.

That’s according to a report from the Daily Mail who claim that Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui is a big fan of the 32-year-old West Ham forward.

The Black Country outfit actually wanted to sign the Hammers hitman in the January transfer window, but he remained at the London Stadium in the end.

Antonio has actually been playing regularly for David Moyes of late, but there is a feeling that his days at the London Stadium could be coming to an end.

And it appears as though another Premier League club are after his signature…

West Ham striker Michail Antonio wanted by Premier League club

Wolves could make a move to sign Mikey in the summer transfer window according to a report from the Daily Mail.

The Sun’s Alan Nixon claimed in January via his official Patreon that Wolves were willing to pay around £10 million for Antonio.

Whether they are willing to pay that kind of money for the 32-year-old in the summer remains to be seen.

However, I believe that if we can get anything like that, we should move the forward on, even if it means that he joins a rival.

With Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings at the club, we have two strikers who are miles better than Antonio, in my opinion.

Moyes should try to sell the South London-born attacker in the summer and bring in a real upgrade with youth on their side.

With Scamacca, Ings and a younger model of Michail Antonio as our attacking options, West Ham will be in great shape.

Whether Wolves come back in with a concrete offer for him remains to be seen though.
