Michail Antonio is set to sign a short-term deal with Qatar's Al‑Sailiya before his return to club football following a near-fatal car crash. The former West Ham striker had been training with Charlton Athletic and held exploratory talks with the Championship club over a pay-as-you-play deal. But the 35-year-old is poised to sign for Qatari Stars League club Al‑Sailiya until the end of their season, which has six games left. He featured for Jamaica at June's Concacaf Gold Cup but was released by West Ham before the current season. The Hammers' record Premier League goalscorer held talks with Brentford and Leicester City over proposed transfers but those deals did not materialise.
