Antonio hails West Ham's new look strike-force

Michail Antonio has hailed West Ham's new look strike-force.

The 27-year-old will join Mexican striker Javier Hernandez and club record signing Marko Arnautovic in a formidable attack, and is convinced their arrivals can solve a problem position for the Hammers.

He told the club website: "Hernandez is a known goalscorer and that's one thing West Ham have definitely needed over the last few years.

"He is someone who can get 15 or 20 goals and he is someone who can definitely do that.

"Marko has been in the Premier League for the last four years and he's a quality player, so it's one of the things where we've added quality into the team and that will get us higher in the table.

"I've always scored goals and had goals in me myself, wherever I have played, so it was about whether I could make the step up to the Prem and keep on doing it, and I have by scoring nine goals in each of my two seasons here.

"Hopefully I can get better this year because I am going for double digits, that's my plan."
