Manuel Lanzini wants West Ham United stay

Manuel Lanzini has revealed that he is desperate to sign a permanent deal at West Ham United.

The 23-year-old joined the Hammers on loan from Al Jazira Club in last summer's transfer window, but as it stands, will return to his parent club at the end of the season.

However, Lanzini has claimed that he wants to sign a long-term deal with West Ham, where he feels "at home".

"I would obviously like to reach an agreement to be able to stay here," Lanzini told the Evening Standard. "I feel at home here, London is one of the great cities of the world. At West Ham the coaching team, the players and the fans treat me really well.

"When you feel at home, why would you want to leave? I knew it was going to be difficult to adapt to the English game but I was confident in my body and ability.

"I know at times I need to adapt my game and that sometimes I need to battle and fight more than I am used to, but I feel that I am pretty smart like that."

Lanzini has scored four Premier League goals for West Ham this season.
