West Ham striker Antonio: A couple of offers were made for me

Michail Antonio admits he had the chance to leave West Ham United in January.

Throughout last month's transfer window, Antonio suggested that he would be open to a move away from the London Stadium should it materialise, though David Moyes made it clear West Ham would not sell the 32-year-old.

Speaking on the The Footballer's Football Podcast, with the window now closed, Antonio discussed the situation and why he is staying at West Ham until at least the end of the season.

“Basically, a couple of bids came in – I'm not going to say who they were," Antonio said.

“The club said they don't want to let me go right now. I said, 'no problem'. I'll stay here, fight for my place, help the team get out of the relegation zone and that's it.

“That's what it was. There was nothing big to report."
