Lanzini close to permanent West Ham deal

West Ham United are expected to seal a permanent contract for midfielder Manuel Lanzini in the coming months.

The Argentine attacker joined the Hammers on a season-long loan deal from Emirati side Al Jazira Club in the summer.

Lanzini has since then put up a great show in a Hammers shirt, thus leading to suggestions that Slaven Bilic's side could activate his buy-out clause.

According to Sky Sports News, the East Londoners will seek to secure a permanent deal for the 22-year-old well ahead of their April deadline.

The Hammers are currently seventh in the Premier League with 29 points.
