Michail Antonio – West Ham United

Michail Antonio has been a reliable striker for West Ham United. He scored 10 goals in each of the past two seasons, but this season, Antonio has gone from good to great.

He has already bagged six goals this season, tied for third-best in the league. He has also contributed three assists. He is second in the league for possessions in the final third and is third in expected goals or xG.

Antonio has been able to threaten around the goal on a more consistent basis than in years past. He has managed to remain healthy and is in great form for both club and country, scoring goals in both of his recent matches for Jamaica.

Despite already being 31, Antonio is having the best start of his career. If he can keep up his form, West Ham United can compete with any team in the Premier League.
