The West Ham United forward was called up to England by both
Gareth Southgate and Sam Allardyce but failed to earn a cap.
Jamaica have moved to secure his international future and it
is understood Antonio is set to accept their approach, report The Telegraph.
The Reggae Boyz attempted to lure the 30-year-old to their
squad in 2016 but he was determined to earn recognition from England.
He has been in brilliant form for the Irons this term, with
his six goals helping his team into the top four.
That led the club to agree a long-term deal with striker,
extending his stay in East London until 2023.
Antonio faces a difficult task to enter Southgate plans as
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Danny Ings have both been called up ahead of him this
season.
Jamaica have two friendlies next month but Antonio is more
likely to join up with the national team later in the year, should he accept.
They have not reached the World Cup Finals since 1998 so
will be hoping Antonio can give the squad a big boost.
They currently have English-born Ravel Morrison and Bobby
Decordova-Reid, who will provide Premier League experience.
Antonio came close to representing England but injury ruled
him out of matches against Germany and Lithuania in March 2017.
He is entering the twiglight of his career and teaming up
with Jamaica may be his only hope of playing in the World Cup.
