Sources: David Moyes stance on new Lukasz Fabianski-West Ham deal revealed
West Ham boss David Moyes is keen to keep goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski at the club past this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The 38-year-old shot-stopper is out of contract in June – but the Irons have the option to activate a 12-month extension clause in his current deal.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (17 April) that West Ham and Fabianski are set to discuss a potential extension in the off-season.
A well-placed Irons source has now told this site that Moyes is ready to green-light a new deal as long as the former Poland international can remain fit.
Fabianski has missed only two Premier League fixtures this season, with a facial injury forcing him out of the side for games against Brighton and Aston Villa in March.
However, he has had a history of fitness issues and missed almost 20 matches with a recurring hip injury in the 2019-20 season.
The shot-stopper has made 29 appearances across all competitions for West Ham in the 2022-23 campaign, conceding 34 goals and keeping nine clean sheets.
He joined the club in 2018 and earns a reported wage of £65,000-a-week at the London Stadium.
The veteran has racked up a total of 344 Premier League appearances after spells at West Ham, Swansea and Arsenal.
Back-up goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has been trusted between the sticks in European and cup competitions this season.
Areola, who cost a reported fee of £7.75million when he was signed permanently in 2022, is yet to surpass Fabianski in the pecking order despite spells at European giants Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
West Ham sit 15th in the Premier League but are just four points above the drop zone with eight games left to play this season.
