Lanzini signs his new contract at West Ham

West Ham United have finally managed to get their playmaker Manuel Lanzini to put pen to paper on a new contract. The new deal ties the Argentine to the club till 2023 and the Hammers will have the option of extending it by a further 2 years.

On signing the new deal, Lanzini said,

"I think it's the best decision for me. I've been here for a long time and I've said in an interview before that I like West Ham, I like the fans, I like the staff and when I came here all the people were comfortable with me. I like to stay here.

"It's a big decision but also easy, because when you feel good in one club and you like the club and the club likes you, it's easier to decide these things. For me, it was not difficult. It was easy, because I love it here.

"I love London, I love the club, I am happy here, we have a very good team, we have a very good manager and the club wants to change and to be in more competitions in the future and that's good for us."
