West Ham sign Manuel Lanzini on permanent deal after paying £9 million

West Ham have completed the signing of Manuel Lanzini on a permanent deal from Al-Jazeera, the Guardian report.

The Argentinian has been very impressive for the Hammers while on loan at Upton Park, helping the club push for a Champions League spot and their continuing FA Cup run with a quarter-final replay vs Man United on the horizon.

Lanzini scored his sixth goal of the season in the 2-2 draw at Chelsea over the weekend. He’s made a habit of scoring against high profile opposition, other strikes coming against Liverpool and Spurs.

Jack Sullivan, the son of joint-owner David Sullivan, confirmed that Lanzini had signed for good on Twitter.

He wrote: “Lanzini is a WHU player for the next 4 seasons, with a further 2 year option. #COYI”

If reports are to be believed then West Ham are also set to confirm the signing of Harvard Nordtveit, the Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder recently announced that he was moving to England when his contract expired this summer.
