West Ham star Michail Antonio tops the Sky Sports Premier League Power Rankings
West Ham star Michail Antonio sits at the top of Sky Sports’ Premier League Power Rankings after a sublime start to the season.
The rankings are based on 35 different statistics, and the 31-year-old sits at the top by miles on 9,639 points, while his closest competitor Hugo Lloris is way back on 8,208.
Antonio has scored four goals and assisted a further three this season, which is why he is right at the top of the Power Rankings.
Totally deserved for Antonio.
The 31-year-old has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season and has been a force for every defence he has come up against so far.
He is joined in the top ten by Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals, who have both had brilliant starts to the season as well.
However, it is Antonio who has been the standout, and he has been described as “extraordinary” by Paolo Di Canio after a sensational start to the campaign [West Ham’s official website].
Next up for Antonio is Southampton, who have conceded six goals in their first three league games.
So, we wouldn’t be surprised if Antonio adds to his goals and assist tally against the Saints on Saturday.
The former non-league man has been incredible for the Irons and exemplifies how far hard work can get you.
