west-ham-set-positive-moved-on-their-new-contract

Following recent events about one of their key players’ contract predicament, West Ham United may be in for a significant boost off the field.

What recent information is there about West Ham United?
Daniel Rigg, a member of the Hammers academy, is reportedly ready to sign a long-term extension to his current contract at the London Stadium, according to EXWHUEmployee, who reported the news via The West Ham Way. This will be Rigg’s first professional contract.

Ex-worker EXWHUEmployee provided the media with an update on Rigg, saying, “I can report that Daniel Rigge is now on the verge of signing a deal with the club. He is a highly sought-after young midfielder, and we beat Manchester City to sign him to a scholarship that will soon turn into a permanent deal.

Following their narrow 1-0 victory over Lincoln City on Wednesday night in the third round of the Carabao Cup, West Ham will now face Arsenal at home in either late October or early November as David Moyes looks to bring more silverware to east London after his side’s heroics in the Europa Conference League last term.

Next up for the Irons is a home clash against out-of-form Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday, where Paul Heckingbottom’s men travel south with hopes of avenging an embarrassing 8-0 defeat inflicted upon them by Newcastle United last Sunday.

According to Dr. Rajpal Brar’s column for West Ham Zone, Aaron Cresswell might not play in their most recent match because the Hammers don’t want to take a chance on the veteran defender experiencing a flare-up of his ongoing hamstring issues.

Physical therapist and sports science expert Dr. Brar said: “I doubt the club will have him play a full 90 on his return if he’s fit for the weekend as hamstring injuries require methodical adaptation due to reinjury risks.”

Jarrod Bowen’s agent is reportedly holding out for a new deal for the England international that could make him the club’s highest earner, according to West Ham reporter Sean Whetstone on social media site X, also known as West Ham Football.

Jarrod Bowen’s agents, PLG, are negotiating a new contract with West Ham to make the 26-year-old one of, if not the most paid player in the team, according to Whetstone. The negotiations to bind Bowen to a long-term West Ham contract are anticipated to be finished in the coming months. In June 2025, his current contract will expire.

Bowen, who has previously been labelled “brilliant” by West Ham boss Moyes, has started the Premier League campaign in 2023/24 in strong fashion, registering four goals and one assist in his opening six fixtures in the English top flight, as per Transfermarkt.

Bowen has been a highly challenging opponent for defenders to contain this season, averaging about 2.7 shots and 1.5 dribbles per game, according to WhoScored.

It would be a great show of purpose for West Ham to be able to lock down Bowen, and it will be interesting to see whether the Hammers can sign the 26-year-old to a lengthier deal.
