Manuel Lanzini is expected to sign a new improved contract at West Ham in the coming days, reports the Daily Express.
The Argentine had been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks, with the Reds reportedly eyeing up the midfielder as a replacement for the seemingly Barcelona bound Philippe Coutinho.
The likely departure of Coutinho to Barcelona has seen SportNation.bet offer odds as long as 20/1 for the Reds to win the Premier League title this season.
West Ham are now likely to offer Lanzini, who has become a key player for the Hammers over the past season, an improved contract to bring him in line with the club’s top earner in an effort to ward off interest from Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Lanzini has become a particularly influential figure at the London Stadium, especially since the depature of Dimitri Payet in January, and is now regarded by manager Slaven Bilic and the West Ham fans as one of the club’s most important players.
The 24-year-old scored an impressive 8 times last season from midfield and you can get the latest news regarding the Argentine at SportNation.com.
