# The Polish Buffon? Lukasz Fabianski is in Line for a Contract Extension

In an exciting boost to a pivotal figure at the London Stadium, the West Ham board are reportedly keen to extend the deal of star shot-stopper Lukasz Fabianski by at least two years, according to reputable Irons source[Claret and Hugh.](https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-want-star-man-to-sign-for-two-more-years/)

The [55-capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lukasz-fabianski/profil/spieler/29692) Polish international has been a regular feature for the Hammers since joining from then-relegated Swansea in 2018 for a [fee of £7.2 million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lukasz-fabianski/profil/spieler/29692) and has featured 74 times for the Irons ever since.

The 35-year-old may well be set for an extension well into his late 30s amid this latest development – and it is not difficult to see why.

This season alone, Fabianski has managed to keep 4 clean sheets in 11 appearances for the Clarets and has kept 17 clean sheets in his career. Given the difficulty to attain such a feat, it is at least a partial insight into the impact that the Polish ‘keeper has had at the club.

However, there are a few other stars that have been tipped to leave the club who like Fabianski are also ordinarily out of contract in the summer. Ryan Fredericks and Robert Snodgrass are a pair tipped to be shown the exit door.

### Read West Ham Verdict

Fabianski may well be the Polish Buffon if the desire to extend his contract is fulfilled.

However, it is anything but a misguided desire; finding a goalkeeper is a costly and risky pursuit and given the goalkeeper’s age, it is unlikely that a significant fee could be commanded for selling the player on.

[Hailed](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2019/september/27-september/pellegrini-fabianski-deserves-all-praise-he-gets) as ‘one of the best’ by Manuel Pellegrini, he is evidently a high-class ‘keeper.

Fabianski would likely be delighted to remain in the top flight, and a deal subsequently makes sense for all parties.
