West Ham are reportedly considering a move to extend Michail Antonio's contract after his devastating car crash at the weekend.

The Hammers confirmed in a statement on Saturday that the 34-year-old had endured 'a lower limb fracture' after a crash involving Antonio's silver Ferrari, with the forward rushed to hospital.

The shock news emerged on Saturday afternoon, with clubs and figures from across the football world rushing to pay their tributes and send well-wishes to the Jamaican international.

The east London club later provided an update on the player's condition, informing that he was 'conscious and communicating and is currently under close supervision' as images surfaced of a silver Ferrari with considerable damage to the front right wing.
