Michail Antonio could be considering a departure from West Ham this summer as Jarrod Bowen has emerged as the primary center-forward at the London Stadium, as per Frank McAvennie.

McAvennie, a former West Ham player, highlighted that Antonio may struggle to reclaim his spot in the team due to the impressive performances of Bowen and Danny Ings in recent matches. He suggested that Bowen has flourished in his central role under Moyes and might not be keen to revert to playing on the flanks, potentially resolving West Ham’s striker issues in the process.

In an exclusive interview with West Ham Zone, McAvennie praised Bowen’s impact in his new position, indicating that Antonio could find himself further down the pecking order. He remarked on Bowen’s versatility and effectiveness as a center-forward, which could pose a challenge for Antonio’s return.

Speculating on Antonio’s future, McAvennie hinted at a possible move for the player, acknowledging his distinct playing style compared to Ings and Bowen. While expressing a desire for Antonio to stay, McAvennie recognized the competition among the strikers, with Bowen currently excelling in Moyes’ system.

The uncertainty surrounding Antonio’s situation has led to speculation about a potential departure, with links to past transfer windows and reported interest from other clubs. Given his limited playing time this season and Bowen’s emergence as a key striker, West Ham may consider offloading Antonio in the upcoming transfer window if a suitable offer materializes.

With Bowen, Antonio, and Ings vying for a lone striker role in Moyes’ setup, it appears that Bowen has edged ahead as the preferred choice, leaving Antonio facing a decision about his future. Should Antonio seek more regular playing opportunities, a move away from West Ham could be the most viable option.
