Manuel Lanzini makes clear he wants West Ham stay

Manuel Lanzini has made it clear he wants to stay with West Ham United.

The 22-year-old is on loan from Abu Dhabi club Al-Jazira with the option of a permanent deal at the end of the season.

He said: "London is great - there is so much history and lots of places to discover.

"I love the one, two-touch football. I am working hard to try and stay here, which is what I want and hope it happens."

He is appreciative of manager Slaven Bilic's backing: "He is a good coach, he reads the game well and everything he tells us we try to do because we know it will work out the way he says. We are on the right path."
