West Ham close to agreeing four-year deal for star
WEST HAM are close to agreeing a four-year contract with Cheikhou Kouyate, according to reports.
West Ham are reportedly set to offer Cheikhou Kouyate a new contract
Kouyate, 26, is expected to pen his new deal at the club this month.
The Daily Mirror claim the Senegal international's consistent performances have earned him the fresh offer.
Discussing the contract, Sullivan hinted that others would follow as West Ham seek to retain their star men ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium this summer.
"Up to now, Dimitri has been our star player this season,” Sullivan told West Ham’s official website.
“And to reward him and to show the supporters our unwavering commitment to building a team we can all be immensely proud of, the board has awarded him and improved and extended contract until 2021."
He added: "In line with our policy, a few other key players might be similarly rewarded in the next six months."
