West Ham United have moved to secure the services of experienced shot-stopper Lukasz Fabianski, with the club announcing the Polish international has put pen to paper on a new one-year contract.
The deal ensures the 39-year-old goalkeeper will remain a Hammer for the upcoming season, marking his seventh consecutive year with the East London outfit. Fabianski's extension provides manager David Moyes with vital stability and proven quality between the posts.
Fabianski expressed his delight at finalising the new deal, stating: "I'm really pleased. Obviously, I've been waiting to get it done, and I'm really happy that we've managed to agree on everything. I'm absolutely delighted to stay for another year and I'm looking forward to the new season."
Since his arrival from Swansea City in 2018, Fabianski has been a cornerstone of the West Ham defence, making over 200 appearances for the club. His consistent performances and leadership have made him a fan favourite at the London Stadium.
This strategic retention is seen as a smart piece of business by the Hammers' hierarchy. While Alphonse Areola is expected to remain the first-choice goalkeeper, Fabianski's vast experience in the Premier League offers invaluable cover and mentorship. His presence in the dressing room is also highly valued, providing a steadying influence for the entire squad.
The club confirmed the news on their official website, signalling their intent to build a balanced squad capable of competing on both domestic and European fronts in the 2024/25 campaign.
