# West Ham United: Hammers fans erupt over Angelo Ogbonna update

**According to a report by the Athletic, via [West Ham Transfers](https://twitter.com/westhamtransfer/status/1377910670939799559), GSB and the Irons are ready to offer a new contract to defensive star Angelo Ogbonna following his performances this season – prompting excitement from many West Ham United fans.**

Ogbonna, who is currently [sidelined through injury](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/news/david-moyes-west-ham-injury-20311391), was a mainstay for manager David Moyes again in the centre of defence this season before succumbing to the knock.

Indeed, starting [23 Premier League games](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/23547/Show/Angelo-Ogbonna), he has seen the likes of Craig Dawson and Fabian Balbuena rotate alongside him while the Italian remained a fixed point in the starting eleven.

Now, as the club reportedly eye a new deal for the 32-year-old, plenty of Irons fans are overjoyed at this update – with one fan calling it ‘excellent news’ whilst others plead with GSB to get it sorted sooner rather than later.
