Fabianski reveals new contract talks with West Ham

Polish veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is in talks over a new contract at West Ham.

The 36-year-old's current deal expires at the end of the season but he expects to agree a one-year extension.

"As far as I can tell, there have been some preliminary talks already going on," Fabianski told Meczyki.

"I hope that we will calmly come to a good solution for both sides. I do not see any reasons for it to be otherwise.

"It's not only West Ham's policy that footballers of a certain age extend from season to season. It's actually a logical solution for many reasons. It is a kind of risk minimisation.

"Of course, the most important thing in all this is health and sports level. If I can manage these aspects, I have no problem with extending the contract.

"The Premier League is the top of a footballer's dream. I feel good enough to play a little more here. I will judge that step by step, but looking at Artur Boruc or many other goalkeepers, you can successfully play up until 40."
