Manuel Lanzini is reportedly stalling over a new contract. According to trusted insider EXWHUEmployee on his Phoenix FM podcast (Wednesday 12th June), Lanzini has not made a decision on his new contract offer despite West Ham offering him a more lucrative deal.
The Argentina midfielder is currently unhappy with the terms of his contract. But in a bid to keep the creative midfielder at the club, West Ham have offered to double his wages.
However, Lanzini wants to be one of the club’s top earners. And he is, therefore, stalling on signing this new deal. This saga could rumble on for the summer.

Many West Ham fans have been discussing this issue on Twitter. Plenty of supporters feel Lanzini has not earned a major pay rise after spending most of the season out injured.
The 26-year-old suffered an ACL injury just before last summer’s World Cup. And he only returned to action in late February for the Irons.
Despite showing glimpses of his former self, Lanzini did not set the world alight. Consequently, fans feel he needs to prove himself before demanding major wages. Here are some of the best tweets.
