West Ham star Michail Antonio has signed a new four-year contract to stay at London Stadium.

Antonio, 27, has become one of Slaven Bilic's key players since signing for the Hammers from Nottingham Forest in 2015.

The winger quickly become a fan-favourite in east London after scoring eight goals in his debut season in the Premier League to earn a call-up to the England squad last August.

Antonio has yet to play for the Three Lions, but has bettered last season's league goal tally with nine this term - becoming one of the most feared aerial threats in the top flight in the process.

His fine form was rewarded with West Ham's Player of the Season award on Tuesday night, and the Hammers have now tied Antonio down with a long-term deal.

Antonio is currently unavailable for Bilic after being ruled out for the season having suffered a "significant" hamstring injury in mid-April.
