Hammers fans react as Cresswell signs contract extension

Masses of West Ham United fans have taken to social media to share this displeasure with Aaron Cresswell receiving a contract extension until 2023.

The 29-year-old left-back has been in good form for the past few games and scored a couple of important goals, but many don’t seem to believe that warrants a new deal.

Plenty of supporters on Twitter reacted to the news, with some suggesting the decision means the club isn’t moving forward…

Twitter: @WestHam Ok so we aren’t moving on as a club (@JamieWHU__)

Twitter: @WestHam we’re aiming for Europa league uno (@andycarroII9)

Twitter: @WestHam A couple of good games under his belt and bang a BRAND NEW CONTRACT.

We never learn. (@KidFairley)

Twitter: @WestHam are you joking? (@liamions)

Read West Ham’s verdict

Cresswell has been an important player over the last month, particularly against Manchester United and AFC Bournemouth, but does it really warrant a new contract?

He’s been a great servant to the club – the third-longest in the current squad – but many would’ve hoped left-back was a position Manuel Pellegrini would soon look to strengthen.

You can’t imagine he’ll want Creswell, Arthur Masuaku and a new man as his options, so it seems we’re stuck with what’s on offer for the foreseeable future.
