BREAKING NEWS: Moyes delivers new West Ham contract update after late transfer drama

Hammers boss provides the latest on talks over an extension to a deal that is due to expire in the summer

Negotiations for a new West Ham deal are “well down the line,” according to David Moyes, who also anticipates more developments when the January transfer market closes.

Moyes’ contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and it looked doubtful early on that he would be given a new contract.

Nonetheless, after leading the team to their highest-ever point total at the halfway point of a Premier League season, the Scot is now almost certainly going to sign an extension.

After leading the team to its first major trophy in forty-three years with the Europa Conference League title last season, Moyes also leads his team into the Uefa competition’s knockout stages. The club’s Europa League campaign is scheduled to continue next month.

Since the transfer market has closed, the 60-year-old has reaffirmed that he will resume talks with the club’s owners early in the New Year, as he had said before Christmas.

“We’ll get back on it now the window is shut,” Moyes said. “We’re well down the line and moving on with it. We’ll pick that up again in the next few weeks.”
