Aaron Cresswell signs new West Ham United deal

Aaron Cresswell has signed a new contract at West Ham United until 2021.

The left-back joined the Hammers from Ipswich Town in 2014 and has already made 89 appearances for his current club, including 47 during the 2015-16 campaign.

Cresswell, 26, has branded the extension "great news" as West Ham prepare to begin the new season at the Olympic Stadium.

"It's great news for me. I've been here for two years now and I'm looking forward to the next five seasons now that I've signed. Last season, especially with it being the last season at the Boleyn Ground, was pretty special, with the Manchester United game one which will live with me forever," Cresswell told West Ham TV.

"This season, we're all looking forward to the new stadium that's up and running now, the first game with Juventus which is obviously going to be a fantastic day, and the season ahead."

West Ham will play their first game of pre-season against Seattle on Tuesday night.
