Hammer heads for new style summer deal

|

Mark Noble is likely to be the next in line for a new West Ham deal with his contract running out in the summer of next year.

It will be interesting to see the type of offer made to the captain who has shown no indication that he intends to put his playing days behind him just yet.

The 33 year old Nobes is obviously set for the Hammers backroom team in years to come and it’s likely that any negotiations currently being held will reflect any new role which is being lined up for him.

He can probably expect to be handed a small increase on his basic wage and like Mikey Antonio decent appearance clauses.

But alongside that will be a separate arrangement reflecting his new role as coach, or whatever, with him heading towards a new phase of his outstanding Irons career.

With Antonio signed and Lukasz Fabianski making it clear he wants a new dealings are looking decent on most fronts.
