West Ham have reportedly slapped a £30million price tag on Lanzini to fend off interest - and now the 24-year-old has pledged his future at the London Stadium.
"The season was good for me on a personal level," Lanzini told the club's website.
“At the beginning it was not great [as I suffered an injury on international duty in pre-season], but then I could achieve a good level.
"Dimi [Payet] is a great player. He left and it was not good news for the squad but luckily at the end I had a very good season.

"We achieved the points to stay in Premier League, which was the most important thing. We did not have a good start of the season, but now we need to think in the next game and the next season.
"For now, I am thinking of the next game then thinking of having good holidays with the family.
"I am very happy here. Next year, if we work hard, we will get a better result."
