Aaron Cresswell has signed a new deal with West Ham
Cresswell was linked to Manchester City and most notably Chelsea, who viewed him as a potential replacement for left-back Filipe Luis.
But the 20-year-old will remain in east London until 2020.
Speaking about his deal, Cresswell told the club's official website: "It's exciting times for me to pen a new deal at West Ham.
“Thankfully last year was a good season for me personally to play every minute of every game, so it's nice to finally commit my future to West Ham.
It's exciting times for me to pen a new deal at West Ham.
“I was at Ipswich 12 months ago and when West Ham came in for me there was only one place for me.
"I jumped straight in the car, down the A12 and signed for West Ham. So for me to play for a club like West Ham, week in week out, is massive and these are exciting times.
“It's going to be a massive year for us, the last year at Upton Park. But it's exciting times going into one of the best stadiums in Europe, even in the world. It's going to be a good summer, hopefully a few more faces will come in and we’ll have a good year.”
