Hammers attacking midfielder Manuel Lanzini hopes the side can finish with a flourish this campaign
Manuel Lanzini hopes that West Ham United can finish the season strongly to cap off what has been a superb campaign for the Hammers.
The Argentine has been pivotal for Slaven Bilic’s side throughout the term, notching seven goals in all competitions and chipping in with some mesmerising performances.
And the 23-year-old wants to pick up maximum points in the Club’s final three Premier League games, starting with Swansea City at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday.
He said: “I am very happy with how the season has gone and I’m delighted to be part of this team and the Club. I knew what I could expect when I arrived. It’s been a fantastic season and I hope we can keep going.
“We are doing very well, but when you look at the players we have you can expect us to do well and you can expect even more. We have top class players here, fantastic facilities and coaching staff and we’re aiming very high and we’re happy with how things have gone.”
Stand-out moments for the midfielder in his debut season at the Club include a stunning strike against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and other London derby goals against Crystal Palace and rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

After impressing this season initially on loan with the Hammers, Lanzini signed a permanent contract at the end of March, and is delighted to have committed his future to the Club.
“I’m very happy to have signed a permanent deal here,” he continued. “That’s what I wanted and the Club wanted so that’s fantastic. I’m very thankful to the board and all the coaches here.
“My top moment personally this season was my goal against Chelsea. They’re a top side and it was a London derby so I was very happy with that one.
“For the team as a whole, my favourite moment would be the comeback against Everton. It was a very tough match, but we managed to turn it around in ten minutes which was incredible.”
Lanzini also revealed the squad’s excellent team spirit has played a major part in the on-field success.
“We have a really good group of players in the squad and it’s very good fun. We’re all really good people and everyone’s happy to help each other out. Nobody feels above anyone else and that’s part of the reason we’re doing really well.
“All of us want more and we’re striving to achieve even more and we’re going to work hard to do so.”
