‘Best days are behind him’: These West Ham fans urge Pellegrini to axe former favourite

|

West Ham have endured a difficult start to life under Manuel Pellegrini after losing six of their opening 12 Premier League matches.

The Hammers splashed over £100m on new recruits during the summer transfer window but have struggled to improve on the field, which opens the door for another shake-up in the squad when the window opens in January.

However, due to the figures that West Ham spent in the summer, exits are likely required to free funds for Pellegrini to splash in the market and one player widely linked with a departure is Michail Antonio.

The former fan favourite has struggled for form during the past 18 months and the signings of Andriy Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson and Lucas Perez have handed him further competition for first-team football.

Antonio has featured 11 times in the league this season but only has a single assist to his name, which has led many fans to urge Pellegrini to offload the 28-year-old in January.

We have gathered some of their comments below.
