West Ham striker Antonio: I don't need to score to make contribution

West Ham striker Michail Antonio feels he contributes to the team in multiple ways.

Antonio has impressed so far this season.

He told whufc.com: “I feel that if I'm not scoring goals, I'm assisting goals, and if I'm not assisting goals, I'm helping create space for other players," he observed. “It is the all-round package. I might not get 20 goals a season, but I might get ten goals and seven assists.

"I might not be scoring goals, but I'm bringing other players into into the game, so it is the package that I bring and it's what people are struggling to find right now.

“He [David Moyes] picks me because obviously I do the job at the end of the day and he always believes that and as a manager he needs players like me who are going to go out there and do the job.

“They fans see that every time I'm out on the field, I give 100%. I'll give my all. Sometimes I might not have the best games but one thing they can guarantee me is that I'm giving 100%."
