Al Jazira chief executive Ayed Mabkhout expects Manuel Lanzini to complete a permanent move to West Ham ​​but insists there’s been no contact yet from the Premier League club.

​Argentine midfielder ​Lanzini, 22, ​has been in fine form at Upton Park, scoring four goals in 13 appearances, since signing on a season-long loan ​from Al Jazira where he failed to make an impact.

​Hammers co-chairman David Sullivan revealed on Monday the​ club​ will take up the option to sign the Argentine permanently before the deal runs out in April.

Mabkhout said: “There is an option in the contract. If they decide before 30 April, they have to pay 10 million euros. If they pay it then we will take it.

“Until now, there has been no discussions but I think they will do it. His performances have been very good so far and I think they want the player. But we are waiting for something official now.”
