Manual Lanzini has confirmed he wants to remain a Hammer as his representatives thrash out a new deal with the club.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Lanzini said: “Yes, we are talking with the club about staying and, of course, I want to stay. It is like my home. It is my fifth season now, I love the fans, the fans love me and the club is amazing.”
Manager Pellegrini also broke silence on Lanzini’s contract situation at today’s press conference telling reporters at Rush Green: “Yes, of course [want him to stay] Manu is a young player, involved and is committed to this club, he is happy here. I hope he will stay here for many more years.”
Claret and Hugh exclusively broke the story last Sunday after they were tipped off that a breakthrough had been achieved adding that both sides hoped to have a contract wrapped up in the next two weeks. Sky Sports and the Daily Express quickly repeated the news the following day before the news went mainstream.
It’s great news he wants to stay , he is fantastic when fit and on form . Love the guy he seems to be nearing his best form the more he plays . It’s looking positive isn’t it Rice stays great talent , Diop wants to stay more to come from him ! We need to keep the players and build from there . COYI
If reports are true that we are reluctant to pay this guy 120k a week, then the owners need shooting. Of course we don’t really know the full details but he is arguably our best player, he seems to be getting back to his best and in my opinion would walk into any team. Plus he is utterly loyal which is such a rarity now days. Please sort this out because simply put, there ain’t nobody like Lanzini, makes me happy, he plays the West Ham way! Sorry just my opinion
Sean just being pedantic but I hope you ment thrash out a deal …LOL
