West Ham striker Antonio intent of extending Premier League goals record

Michail Antonio wants to extend his new record at West Ham United.

The Jamaica forward overtook Paolo Di Canio as the club's highest goalscorer in the Premier League in August after reaching 54 goals.

In a video posted on the club's official website of Antonio talking about his backstory, he said: "When I started playing here, I didn't even know what the record was.

"I didn't even think about it, it was just about me playing games, trying to get games.

"Now I've achieved this, I'm going to keep scoring goals and make that distance as far as I can, so it'll be a very long time before anyone can catch me."
