West Ham boss Moyes: Antonio has always shown loyalty

West Ham boss David Moyes is delighted leaning on Michail Antonio.

Ahead of their weekend clash with Wolves, Moyes paid tribute to the striker on the eve of his 300th game for the club.

"He's shown loyalty to West Ham over a long time," Moyes said. “He's aging like we all are but he's doing the job well.

“Every time I've sat in this seat, most people have asked, 'When are you buying a striker?' But the problem is over the last three, four years there's been a lack of strikers, availability and trying to get players at the right value.

“So, we decided to give Mich a chance to play up front and he's done brilliantly well for us."
