West Ham United are confident that Michail Antonio will sign a new contract, according to The Guardian.
Antonio is out of contract at West Ham at the end of next season, with the winger having joined the Premier League club from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £7 million.
The Guardian has claimed that West Ham are relaxed about the situation of the winger, who himself is reported to not want to leave the London Stadium this summer and wants to stay.
It has been reported that Antonio earns £70,000 per week as salary at the Hammers, and that the former Sheffield Wednesday and Forest winger is in line for a new and improved deal.
