According to London Evening Standard, loan signing Manuel Lanzini wants to sign a permanent deal with West Ham; whilst The Sun report that Arsenal have seen an £11.5million bid for Marcelo Brozovic rejected by Dynamo Zagreb.
The former River Plate star signed for the Hammers on loan from Al Jazira at the start of the season and has thoroughly impressed in the Premier League, bagging four goals and one assist in 17 league outings whilst jostling between a variety of midfield roles.
Recent reports have claimed West Ham will look to sign the 23-year-old permanently this month following his recovery from a thigh injury and in an interview with London Evening Standard, Lanzini has reciprocated their interest in a long-term deal.

As quoted by LES, he said; “I would obviously like to reach an agreement to be able to stay here. I feel at home here, London is one of the great cities of the world. At West Ham the coaching team, the players and the fans treat me really well. When you feel at home, why would you want to leave?”
Meanwhile, The Sun – citing reports from Italy – claim Arsenal have seen an £11.5million bid rejected for Dynamo Zagreb midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who has claimed three goals and two assists in 15 Serie A starts this season whilst on loan at Inter Milan.
The Croatian international has been mooted as a Gunners transfer target for some time and Arsene Wenger is known to be planning a major overhaul of his central midfield options for the summer transfer window. But the north London outfit have reportedly seen an £11.5million bid rejected, with the 23-year-old’s parent club valuing him at £20million.
That puts Inter Milan in pole position to sign Brozovic permanently once his loan deal expires at the end of the season.
