# West Ham: Fans buzzing with Lanzini’s comments after signing new deal

**West Ham United fans are ecstatic with comments made by Manuel Lanzini following the Argentine signing a [new four-year deal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49530068) at the club.**

Lanzini joined West Ham in 2015, quickly becoming a popular figure, and after scoring 19 goals in his first three seasons before an injury struck season last year \[[WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/89998/Fixtures/Manuel-Lanzini)\], the 26-year-old is now up and running again at the London Stadium.

With injury seeing him sidelined from [May 2018 until February 2019 (Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manuel-lanzini/verletzungen/spieler/135853), Lanzini’s new long-term deal should afford him the opportunity to make up for lost time, and after starting each of the four games thus far, the ex-Fluminense man could be set for a positive season in east London.

After putting pen to paper, he told [WHUFC.com:](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2019/september/05-september/manuel-lanzini-id-love-win-trophy-west-ham-united)“It’s difficult, but why not? Leicester won the Premier League two or three years ago. It’s difficult, but we need to believe.

“Of course \[we want to challenge for a top-six finish\]! It is the ambition of all of us and the Club…”

Perhaps a little ambitious, but after registering two wins and a draw since the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City on the opening weekend, West Ham fans have seen their side build, progress and score six goals and let in just two ([as per BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table)).

Why can’t Lanzini dream? Here is how some Hammers fans reacted to his words…

> Love seeing stuff like this. About time we had a positive mindset and aim for trophies

> We’d all love the Hammers to win a trophy – it’s been far too long! (The 2012 Championship Play-Off win was nice … but we all know the REAL prize wasn’t really the trophy the sponsors put up – it was the promotion to the [#PremierLeague](https://twitter.com/hashtag/PremierLeague?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) and all the prestige that went with it!)
