West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini was happy to see Mark Noble sign a new deal.

The midfielder was handed an extension to 2021 this week.

Pellegrini said, "I think his new contract is very positive for him and for the club. Mark has made a big career here and I think he deserves the chance to finish his career here too.

"He knows about this club. In the dressing room, I think it's important for new players who arrive to have him.

"He is a very important player for West Ham and he demonstrates that every game for me."
