INTERVIEW BY JAMES SHARPE: Michail Antonio is a fighter by his own admission. He has always been one of the best ones. He was in a few scrapes in his younger days, but it brought him to where he is now and it kept him there. It kept him fighting his way up from non-League, tussling for his chance, to the Premier League, and it's kept him at West Ham for the past nine years. Antonio is seated in a Portakabin at West Ham's Rush Green training ground and reads a list of the strikers with whom he has competed in the last near-decade: Simone Zaza, Jonathan Calleri, Marko Arnautovic, Javier Hernandez, Jordan Hugill, Lucas Perez, Sebastien Haller, Danny Ings, and Antonio is the main man.
