Manuel Lanzini will depart West Ham after eight years when his contract expires at the end of the month. When his contract with West Ham ends at the conclusion of June, Lanzini will depart the club. The Argentine midfielder joined the Hammers from Al Jazira in the United Arab Emirates in the summer of 2015.
He has made 226 appearances and scored 32 goals since then. Lanzini’s most notable moment came in 2020, when he scored a long-range equalizer against Tottenham to help West Ham come back from 3-0 down to earn a 3-3 draw. The 30-year-old has been linked with a return to his previous club River Plate in Argentina.
West Ham United can confirm that Manuel Lanzini will leave the organization on June 30 when his contract expires. The Argentine midfielder made a temporary loan transfer to the Hammers in the summer of 2015 in the United Arab Emirates before completing the switch permanently the following year.
He was also twice awarded the Club’s Goal of the Season award for his memorable last-second goal against Tottenham Hotspur in 2020/21 and his outstanding volleyed finish against Crystal Palace the following season.
David Moyes On Lanzini’s Departure
Lanzini, the Hammer of the Year runner-up in 2016/17, battled back from a catastrophic knee injury that lost him a seat in Argentina’s FIFA World Cup finals roster in 2018 to reclaim his national team status and play a crucial role in West Ham’s achievements over the previous three years.
He appeared in eleven UEFA Europa Conference League games this season, scoring in both our home and away triumphs over Silkeborg IF of Denmark. Lanzini, a fan favourite among Hammers fans and team-mates alike, scored in his farewell home game for the Club, a 3-1 triumph against Leeds United at London Stadium last month, and exits having earned a position among West Ham United’s top 70 all-time appearance makers.
David Moyes said, “On behalf of the players and coaching staff, I would like to thank Manu and wish him all the very best for the future.” “Manu is a fantastic professional, a really good lad, and whichever club he joins will have an excellent player on their hands.”
“He has some wonderful memories at West Ham” – including that famous equaliser at Tottenham when we came back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3. People still talk about that goal and what that result did to increase the confidence and belief around the Club at that time, Moyes added.
Meanwhile, the Europa Conference League champions have given Angelo Ogbonna a new contract, while Ademipo Odubeko, Armstrong Oko-Flex, Brian Kinnear, Asher Falase, and Jamal Baptiste will be dismissed. Baptiste, 19, was given a new contract but decided to quit the club.
West Ham University scholars Sean Tarima, Ryan Battrum, Billy Bates, and Mason Terry have all secured their first professional contracts.
