West Ham United reportedly want to tie manager David Moyes down to a new long-term deal, with the capital side currently fifth in the Premier League table.

West Ham United manager David Moyes is reportedly in line for a new long-term contract at the London Stadium.

The 57-year-old has overseen a stellar start to the season for the capital side, who broke into the top four of the Premier League table on Tuesday evening after beating Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park.

West Ham have since been knocked down a place by Everton, but they are firmly in the mix for a European spot and have triumphed six times on the trot in all competitions since the turn of the year.

According to the Daily Mail, the West Ham hierarchy are now desperate to tie Moyes down to a new deal, with his existing one set to expire in the summer.

However, the report adds that there is no rush to finalise the Scotsman's contract, as all parties involved are confident that an agreement will be reached with minimal fuss.

Moyes has taken charge of 46 matches during his second spell at West Ham - winning 20 of them - and only six points separate the fifth-placed Hammers from leaders Manchester City as things stand.
