Pedro Obiang is delighted with his new contract at West Ham.

Obiang has signed a new contract at West Ham until 2022.

“Over the next five years, we can achieve many, many things but we are going to start from today," Obiang said. “Of course, I trust the club and the situation and I know I am in a very good team at a very good club.

“I have a lot of teammates here and I talked to Manu [Lanzini], Adrian and Angelo [Ogbonna] over the summer when we were on holidays and that's maybe a little bit of the reason I signed a new contract is because I prefer to be here than in another place, because I feel like part of a family here.

“I think here we can do many things. When I start to play, I have confidence and I don't know why the situation changed [last season]. I had the possibility to start and to demonstrate what I wanted to demonstrate in my first season here, but for many reasons I didn't do. Now I have time to do it."
