Taking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have shared their excitement after ExWHUemployee's update on a very popular player at Rush Green.

Indeed, as per the reliable club insider, goalkeeper David Martin may not be leaving the club after all.

According to Ex, the 35-year-old could now stay on at the London Stadium in the possible role of working with academy keepers and as a back up option (Twitter).

He was originally touted with a possible exit from east London, with the insider recently claiming that he did look set to leave although there was a chance he could stay.

The latter scenario now looks more likely to take place in a development which has excited plenty of supporters on social media.

A known West Ham fan, Martin is also apparently a 'very popular' player behind the scenes and 'very good person' off the field - leaving little wonder why fans are happy to hear he could be staying.

One supporter even branded it 'huge news', find a flavour of their best verdicts down below.

"Hoped this would happen. He’s probably on the lowest wage in our squad and wouldn’t be first choice anything higher than league 1 I’d have thought due to his age. Makes sense for both parties, glad to keep him around, great character"
