Jussi Jaaskelainen extends stay at West Ham
JUSSI JAASKELAINEN will stay at West Ham next season after getting his one-year contract extension triggered.
The Finnish keeper, 37, has been ever-present in the Premier League to ensure he stays for another campaign, and Hammers boss Sam Allardyce expects the veteran to be his No1 for at least another year.
Allardyce said: “It’s sorted. The option is linked into this year and has kicked in.”
Allardyce believes Jaaskelainen is one of the bargains of the season after arriving on a free transfer.
He added: “There is no doubt about the value of his signing.”
