WEST HAM attacker Manuel Lanzini insists he is happy at the London Stadium, despite links with a summer switch to Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.
Lanzini, has stepped up since the controversial departure of Dimitri Payet in January, and has bagged eight goals, including the winner against Tottenham earlier this month.
Everton are keen on the 24-year-old if Ross Barkley departs, while Liverpool are monitoring things if Philippe Coutinho opts to join Barcelona in the summer.
The Gunners are also watching the Argentine schemer, but Lanzini insists he won't do a "Dimitri Payet" and leave the Hammers in the lurch.
Lanzini said:"The season was good for me on a personal level, at the beginning it was not great [as I suffered an injury on international duty in pre-season], but then I could achieve a good level.
"Dimi is a great player, he left and it was not a good news for the squad but luckily at the end I had a very good season.
"For now, I am thinking of the next game then thinking of having good holidays with the family. I am very happy here.
"(With the win over Tottenham), we achieved the points to stay in Premier League, which was the most important thing."

Lanzini wants the Hammers to start next season on the front foot, to avoid being dragged into a relegation scrap later on.
He added:"We did not have a good start of the season, but now we need to think in the next game and the next season."
