West Ham United insider and reliable source ExWHUemployee has shared a fresh update for supporters as the club agree a new contract in principle.
The Lowdown: Hammers eye in-house deals...
Reports have backed that the Irons and manager David Moyes are eyeing plenty of in-house new deals for some of their best players.

Indeed, before taking to the transfer market, West Ham apparently wish to secure the futures surrounding some of Moyes' star assets - including the likes of winger Jarrod Bowen and midfielder Tomas Soucek 'in line for big improvements' (Claret & Hugh).
Meanwhile, shot stopper and mainstay number one Lukasz Fabianski has previously confirmed talks with the Irons over extending his deal which is set to expire in late June as things stand.
While nothing has been announced on those fresh terms yet, ExWHUemployee has now shared a fresh update on Fabianski's situation.
The Latest: Agreement reached, but not signed...
According to the insider, via West Ham Way, a deal with the 37-year-old over fresh terms is 'agreed' but hasn't yet been signed.
The goalkeeper, 'as of now', has given the green-light to extend his stay but no ink has been put to paper - with Ex claiming 'question marks' over Moyes' options could prompt the club to turn to Burnley star Nick Pope.
The Verdict: Get it signed...
While it is currently uncertain what is delaying the actual signature from Fabianski, we believe securing the former Poland international should be a major priority before this summer.
A Moyes 'untouchable', the Premier League veteran has played nearly every top flight game for West Ham and more minutes in the division than any other Irons player (WhoScored).
Before contemplating whether to activate Alphonse Areola's permanent deal clause or to take to the summer market, securing Fabianski to fresh terms for one more year is simply imperative.
