11 most versatile players in football right now

#8 Michail Antonio (West Ham United)

Stoke City v West Ham United - Premier League — Michail Antonio is currently out with a groin injury

Michail Antonio has played so many positions for The Hammers that it is no longer clear which his preferred position his. Originally starting off as a right-back in the 2016/17 season, the England international soon started playing as a forward and grabbed some extremely important goals.

This season alone, the 27-year-old star has played as a right winger, attacking midfielder and centre-forward. Currently out with a serious groin injury, Moyes will be hoping that he will have the versatile player back sooner rather than later.

A threat in the air and quick on his feet, Antonio has shown in the last 2 seasons that he is capable of playing in multiple positions with equal ease and he will be hoping to make England's World Cup squad for Russia 2018.
