In a dramatic twist of fate, Michail Antonio, the formidable former West Ham forward, finds himself a free agent, months after surviving a harrowing car crash that nearly claimed his life.

Antonio's contract with the Premier League club has expired, and despite demonstrating resilience by returning to the field internationally for Jamaica, West Ham confirmed it will not renew his terms.
