David Gold: 'Michail Antonio is most exciting player in English football'

West Ham United co-chairman David Gold hails Michail Antonio as the most exciting player in English football.

West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has described Michail Antonio as the most exciting player in English football.

The 26-year-old joined the Hammers last summer, but spent much of his debut campaign playing in an unfamiliar full-back role.

However, he has now been deployed further upfield once again and scored the winning goal in his side's first Premier League match at the London Stadium.

"There is nobody in English football that's more exciting than Antonio. I think he is a special player. He's been playing at right-back," he told talkSPORT.

"He hates playing there but he plays for the team and the manager but he's now been pushed back to wing role, attacking winger."

Antonio has scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for West Ham so far.
