West Ham United attacker Manuel Lanzini is reportedly on the verge of signing a new deal with the club worth £85,000 a week.
The 24-year-old has been locked in negotiations over new terms with the Hammers for four months amid reported interest from Liverpool.
According to The Sun, the Argentine will pen a new five-year deal with a salary that is almost treble the £30,000 a week he takes home under his current contract, signed 18 months ago.
Slaven Bilic's side have already tied down Pedro Obiang and Michail Antonio to new terms but talks with Lanzini took longer after their initial offer of £50,000 a week was undermined by heightened interest from the Reds.
The Hammers, who have also completed the signings of Javier Hernandez, Joe Hart and Marko Arnautovic this summer, begin the new season away at Manchester United on Sunday.
