AHEAD OF THE GAME: Michail Antonio's brilliant performances are giving David Moyes a transfer headache as no forwards want to move to West Ham to become an understudy

Antonio's brilliance is giving Moyes a transfer headache

David Moyes is struggling to sign the striker he believes he needs to boost West Ham’s Champions League qualification bid in the New Year — due to the fine form of Michail Antonio.

Forwards at other clubs are reluctant to move to the London Stadium as his understudy to sit on the bench.

West Ham held talks with seven different strikers last summer without completing a transfer and have yet to sign a direct replacement for club-record signing Sebastien Haller, who was sold to Ajax for £20million last January.
