Michail Antonio is staying at West Ham beyond the summer, a club source has told Sky Sports News HQ.

Sky sources reported earlier this month that talks over a new contract are at a standstill, with the player unhappy at the new terms offered to him.

Antonio, who rejected an offer earlier this year, is understood to earn around £35,000 a week and the source said he has been offered £70,000 to remain at the London Stadium.

It's a heavyweight week of action this week on Sky Sports with three huge Premier League games

Antonio's representatives, however, have denied that is the case exclusively to Sky Sports News HQ.

They said: "Michail Antonio has categorically not been offered a £70,000-a-week contract thereby has never rejected a contract.

"If the club were to offer a deal in that region I am sure it would be signed but the offer was well below that value."

Antonio is thought to be of interest to a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, but a Hammers source has told Sky Sports News HQ: "Antonio will be going nowhere.

"He's got five years left on his current contract and he's a valued member of Slaven [Bilic's] side.

"He's got the chance to double his money but if it's not a good enough offer for him then he will have to stay on what he's on."

Antonio has not played since he aggravated a previous hamstring against Swansea three weeks ago.
