Leeds United have been one of the standout teams in the Premier League so far, but there has been one side that have arguably been a bigger surprise package this season, West Ham United.

The Hammers barely escaped relegation last season, but this term they’ve held their own against some of the best teams in the league and have claimed some massive scalps along the way.

David Moyes’ side beat Leicester and Wolves by an aggregate score of 7-0, before holding Spurs and Man City to back to back draws.

The London club have undoubtedly been brilliant, and one man they have to thank for their fantastic form is Michail Antonio.

The West Ham striker has been starring in the Premier League for a number of years now, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that Leeds wanted to sign him back in 2015.

Indeed, the Whites were in for him five years ago, but he instead ended up joining West Ham, and that’s a failed move that Leeds should be regretting to this day.

All in all, it has to be considered as one of Massimo Cellino’s biggest errors during his time as chairman at the club especially after watching him score a spectacular overhead kick against Manchester City on Saturday to take his tally to 41 West Ham goals, whilst he has also chipped in with 22 assists in his 160 appearances (Transfermarkt).

Danny Mills’ comments on the striker over the summer perfectly sum up how good he is.

“He has pace, power and lots of ability. He can score a goal and his work rate is exceptional,” Mills said.

“He is a magnificent all-round player who will give you everything week in, week out no matter where he plays.”

The thought of Antonio playing under Bielsa is certainly mouth-watering, his pace, power and athleticism would make him a perfect player in the Argentine’s intense pressing system, but because of Leeds’ failure to bring him in back in 2015, we have been denied the opportunity to see that.

This is one signing we wish Cellino had gotten over the line.
