Everton are reportedly interested in the West Ham United forward.
Everton have ‘started moving’ for a potential deal to sign Michael Antonio, reports suggest.
June 30th’s financial deadline for Premier League profit and sustainability rules means that several clubs may have to sell.
Michael Antonio is one player who West Ham United would seemingly be open to allowing to depart. The striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham and having come through the west London side’s academy, he would represent ‘pure profit’ when it comes to financial rules.
Everton could be in the market for a new number nine. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been the subject of interest from Newcastle United but that has cooled. But there have been reports linking Beto to Fenerbahce while Sean Dyche may want another option to compete with the centre-forward berth at Goodison Park.
Everton are one club keen on Michael Antonio and there could be ‘some movement’ around the Albania international. Romano said: “Keep a close eye on Michael Antonio because I am hearing there is interest of several clubs.
“In the last 24 – 48 hours, clubs like Everton and also others started moving around Michael Antonio, so there could be movement around him in the weekend. We know for financial fair play, it is a crucial weekend for many clubs.”
