Hammers look to tie down Lanzini amid Fenerbahce interest

Despite a season of misery from a long-term knee injury which kept West Ham’s number 10 on the sidelines for all but a dozen Premier League games, this hasn’t stopped potential suitors coming in for one of the Hammers’ most influential players.

Fenerbahce are said to be highly interested in the attacking midfielder but after a disappointing season in the Turkish Super Lig, where they finished sixth, the chance of luring the talented player away from the Premier League now look rather slim, reports the Mirror.

Manuel Pellegrini and the Hammers view Lanzini as one of their key players and now look set to offer him a new five-year contract to fend off any other potential interest for the 26-year-old.

Signed back in the 2015 summer transfer window, initially on loan, Lanzini soon showed he was more than capable competing with the best and secured a permanent move for a fee of around £9.4 million the following year.

In his four seasons in the Premier League, Lanzini has managed 14 goals in 72 appearances for the Hammers and will be looking to improve that next season.
