Slaven Bilic wants Manuel Lanzini at West Ham United on permanent deal

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has revealed that his club intend to purchase Manuel Lanzini on a permanent deal from Al Jazira Club at the end of the season.

The 23-year-old joined West Ham on loan last summer and has netted four Premier League goals for the London outfit this season.

Earlier this month, the attacker revealed that he is desperate to sign a long-term deal with the Hammers, and Bilic has confirmed that his club have the chance to make the move permanent.

"With Manuel Lanzini the situation is clear. He came on loan and the option is there, so we want him in the club for a long, long time," Bilic told reporters.

West Ham will continue their top-four assault in the Premier League away to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.
