West Ham chairman Sullivan pays £100k to fly Antonio back from Jamaica duty

West Ham United striker Michail Antonio flew home early after international duty with Jamaica.

Hammers chairman David Sullivan spent up to £100,000 on a private jet to get Antonio back to England in time to take on Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 31-year-old scored against El Salvador and the United States in recent matches for his country.

Sullivan's commitment to get Antonio back to the club on time for their next game shows how much he is wiling to do to back manager David Moyes, per the Daily Mail.

West Ham are flying high in the Premier League this term, while they are also putting in strong showings in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
