Reid has been one of the club's outstanding performers for the Hammers this term, who had flirted with the Champions League spots but have since dropped to ninth in the table.

And they have been given a boost with Reid signing a new six-and-a-half-year deal that will keep him with the east London outfit until 2021.

A club statement read: "West Ham United are delighted to confirm that Winston Reid has signed a new six-and-a-half year contract with the Club.

"The centre-back has put pen to paper on a deal until the summer of 2021, becoming the third first-team regular to sign a new contract in the last month after James Tomkins and Mark Noble.

"News that the 26-year-old has pledged his long-term future to the Hammers will be welcomed by everyone associated with the Club after several leading European teams expressed in interest in acquiring his services."

Speaking about his new deal, Reid said: "It’s one of those things that took a bit of time, but we got there in the end and I’m very happy to be here for the next part of my career. I’m looking forward to it.

“At the end of the day, for myself I feel comfortable here. I was speaking with the Joint-Chairman David Sullivan and everybody and felt like I was valued here. He was clearly very committed to getting the deal done and keeping me at the Club, so I’d like to thank him for that and I’m delighted to sign for the next six years.

“My family are happy living here too. We’ve been part of the Club living in London, so we weighed all the factors up and I’m delighted to be staying here."
