Ogbonna signs new five year contract

Angelo Ogbonna has signed a new long-term deal with West Ham which sees him commit his future to the Club until 2022.

The centre-back, who signed for the Club in 2015 from Italian champions Juventus, has put pen-to-paper on a five-year deal ahead of the Hammers’ second campaign at London Stadium.

The defender has already returned to Rush Green to be fit to start pre-season

“I’m really grateful for this new deal,” said the Italian. “Our position last year was quite high and we are looking forward to improving next season.

“My target is that I can’t wait to get back playing. I think we have a long season ahead and for me my target is to be better than last season. We finished in 11^th position but very close to 8^th position and we know we can do better than what we did last year.

“I am excited to show my quality on the pitch and the support is always amazing, even when I had my injury.  We have got lots of experience in the team at the moment, which is very good.”
