Pablo Armero wants permanent West Ham United deal

On-loan Napoli defender Pablo Armero has revealed that he wants to sign a permanent deal with West Ham United.

The 27-year-old Colombian joined the Hammers in January on a contract until the end of the season.

"Firstly, I think of West Ham and give the maximum result here," Armero told the Newham Recorder. "It is normal that as we are getting close to the World Cup, I like to keep pace and be in full capacity.

"I would like to have a good end so in the future have a new contract with the team."

Armero has made three appearances for West Ham since arriving at Upton Park at the start of the year.
