Michail Antonio has recently penned a new deal at West Ham United.

Slaven Bilic has told Football.London that West Ham United will be offering further new contracts to players at the end of the season.

Bilic is keen to tie key players down for the future at the London Stadium, rather than risk losing them.

Earlier this week West Ham announced that they had agreed a new long-term deal for Michail Antonio, which has ended any speculation that he could leave.

And Bilic has confirmed that David Sullivan has suggested that he will be able to hand out more new deals in the coming weeks.

“I am going to talk to the chairman after the Burnley game,” he said. “It’s great Mikey signed and we have some other players that the chairman said we will talk about at the end of the season.

“There are a few of them. We already spoke, me and Mr Sullivan, and we are going to do it.”

One West Ham player who could be handed a new deal soon is Adrian.

The Spanish stopper’s contract is due to expire at the end of the campaign, but Bilic is likely to want to keep Adrian around if possible.

Although the 30-year-old has had a mixed campaign, he is currently West Ham’s first choice stopper.

The Hammers are next in action on Sunday against Liverpool, when a win could lift them into the top half of the Premier League table.
