West Ham United fans have gone into meltdown this afternoon following a leaked picture which seemed to show Manuel Lanzini pitchside at the London Stadium.
The Argentine playmaker has been in talks over a new long-term deal for a couple of weeks now, but things could be finalised with an announcement imminent.

Lanzini has started the season in fine fashion, providing two assists in the opening three Premier League games and continues to act as one of Manuel Pellegrini’s most crucial stars.
Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of reaction after the exciting picture surfaced on social media…

READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
Lanzini could have his best campaign as a West Ham player yet if he continues to look as creative as he has been.
He has such an array of quality around him going forward now that it wouldn’t be surprising to see him breach the 10-assist mark at a minimum.
Now 26, he’s entering his prime years which is an exciting prospect for everyone associated with the Hammers.
