West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has reportedly revealed that he will put pen to paper on a new contract at the club next week.

The 58-year-old's future had been up in the air over the course of the season due to the club stating that a new deal will not be discussed until the Hammers' Premier League status was secure.

While Allardyce had suggested that he would walk away if he failed to keep them up, the former Blackburn Rovers boss has guided the team to 10th spot in the table with two games left to play in the campaign.

The ex-Bolton Wanderers manager has dispelled doubts over his future by claiming that a new contract will be finalised by next week, according to Sky Sports News.

Allardyce, who signed a two-year deal last year, ensured Premier League promotion for the Hammers at the end of the 2011-12 campaign.
