READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
It’s absolutely terrific news for West Ham and a huge boost going into this weekend’s game against Norwich City.
Lanzini has the potential to become a club great if he, and the undoubted quality around him, can push the club to the next level over the next few years.
He’ll certainly be starting against Daniel Farke’s side tomorrow at the London Stadium, where he’s bound to get a roaring reception.
Here’s to hoping he can celebrate with a goal or two…
