West Ham co-chairman: Middlesbrough can 'dream on' about Antonio
Andrew Couldridge / Reuters
David Gold didn't waste any time rejecting a report which linked breakout star Michail Antonio with a move to newly promoted Middlesbrough.
The West Ham co-chairman took to social media to deny the rumour with a snippy response for The Boro:
The Evening Standard report suggests - politely - that West Ham will be reluctant to part ways with Antonio, and Middlesbrough is willing to submit an offer worth up to £8 million.
Antonio was a critical component in a West Ham side that managed to qualify for the Europa League next season.
The versatile player, who can patrol the midfield and right back effectively, scored eight goals during his first season since joining West Ham from Nottingham Forest.
