West Ham star Michail Antonio 'snubs England to pledge his international future to Jamaica'

West Ham star Michail Antonio has snubbed England and officially pledged his international future to Jamaica, according to reports.

As revealed by Sportsmail earlier this month, the Reggae Boyz were plotting an audacious move to recruit up to 15 English stars ahead of next year's World Cup in Qatar.

Joining Antonio among the list were Demarai Gray, Max Aarons and Liam Moore, and it now appears that the West Ham man is the first to confirm his place in the Jamaica squad.
