According to Calcio Mercato, Joao Mario is keen to extend his stay at West Ham United but supporters of the London club are doubtful over whether David Sullivan will pay the money to sign the midfielder.

West Ham have taken Joao Mario on loan from Inter Milan until the end of the season, and he has impressed at the London Stadium so far.

The Portuguese midfielder has been asked to perform a vital role in David Moyes’ side, and he has thrived with the responsibility.

West Ham do not have a clause in the deal which allows them to buy the midfielder for a set price, though.

And Hammers fans are fearful that Sullivan and David Gold won’t pay up to sign the play maker.

West Ham were criticised for showing a lack of ambition in the January transfer window, with Jordan Hugill, Patrice Evra and Joao Mario their only additions.

Moyes had made no secret of his desire for new signings, and West Ham supporters felt that more money should have spent on their side.

The Hammers are currently in 12th place in the Premier League table, with their next match coming against Liverpool.
