West Ham are set to open talks with Mark Noble about an executive role at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to retire at the end of this season.

The midfielder wants to remain committed to the Hammers in some capacity, and the club shares that sentiment.

According to the Daily Mail, West Ham and Noble are already speaking about roles beyond the end of this season.

Noble would ideally like a leading football operations position for next term, and West Ham want to ensure his knowledge and influence can be retained in a positive way moving forward.
