West Ham United defender Angelo Ogbonna has said he wants to stay at the club beyond the summer.
Ogbonna's contract at the Hammers expires at the end of the season and the defender has been linked with a move to French club Marseille.
However, speaking after West Ham's 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, the former Juventus star has said he wants to extend his time in east London as it feels like 'family.'

"Of course," replied Ogbonna when asked whether he wants to stay. "It feels like a family here and I want to be part of this family. Now the most important thing is to get our points and we can talk later."
Ogbonna has returned to the first-team line up in recent weeks after suffering a ruptured cruciate ligament last November which ended his season.
Manager David Moyes recently admitted that talks have not yet begun over a new deal, with the Italian one of four players out of contract at the London Stadium but out of Lukasz Fabianski, Manuel Laninzi and Vladimir Coufal, Ogbonna is the only one without an extension clause.
"We've not gone into the new contracts yet. It's good to see Angelo back playing well... I'm pleased he's done a really good job, he's been a really good servant, but the truth is we've not got round to discussing any contracts at the moment."
