Following the news that West Ham United are set to tie Manuel Lanzini down to a new long-term contract, supporters are unsurprisingly coming together to rejoice on social media.
In what would be a huge statement of intent by Manuel Pellegrini, the Hammers are looking to extend Lanzini’s current deal – which expires in 12 months’ time – beyond 2022.
Fans are ecstatic that West Ham will be keeping one of their best players, as they aim to return to European football following such an exciting summer with the arrivals of Sebastien Haller and Pablo Fornals.

READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
There is now plenty of competition for places at West Ham, but that should only make Lanzini more hungry to continue impressing as one of the club’s most creative outlets.
On his day, you could argue Lanzini is the club’s best player and renewing his contract won’t just improve the squad, but it’ll provide a huge boost as the 2019-20 season continues following a poor start.
Let’s hope it’s confirmed sooner rather than later so he can celebrate with a match-winning performance at Watford on Saturday!
