If there’s one player who is undisputedly loved by West Ham fans in the current squad, it’s Manuel Lanzini.
There has been a breakthrough in negotiations over a new contract for Manuel Lanzini.
This should be resolved within the next fortnight, with the 26-year-old committing himself to a long term contract with the Hammers. (via @westhamfootball) pic.twitter.com/RT5Dliz1sO

The Argentine playmaker has been with the east London side for the good part of five years, and after recovering from a knee ligament that ruled the midfielder out for most of last season, Lanzini is in line to be offered a new deal with West Ham as Claret and Hugh and Football London report.
As expected, West Ham fans were delighted with the news and took to social media to egg the club on to offer Lanzini a new deal that many believe he deserves.
Here is how some West Ham supporters reacted to the news on Twitter…
Would be great news!
