WEST HAM are set to reward David Moyes for ‘getting his mojo back’ with a new long-term contract, according to reports.
The Hammers boss, 57, has a deal that runs until the end of the current season.

But The Times say he is in line for an extension.
The report states official negotiations have not yet got underway between West Ham and the Scot but the East London club want to reward him for the fine job he has done.
A close source told The Times: “He got his mojo back.
“He was always a good coach.
“He just needed some stability, support and time.”
The former Everton boss struggled at Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland before helping West Ham avoid relegation in the 2017-18 season.
He was let go when his short-term deal expired but returned last December to replace Manuel Pellegrini on an 18-month contract at the London Stadium.
Moyes guided the Hammers to 16th last term and recruited well with Jarrod Bowen, Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal all impressing.
And his side are delivering on the pitch with West Ham sat fifth in the Premier League table after ten matches this term, a point off the top four and four behind the leaders.
They have lost just one of their last eight league games, beating Wolves and Leicester comprehensively before draws with Tottenham and Manchester City.
That was enough for Sir Alex Ferguson to send his fellow Scot and Old Trafford successor a congratulatory text for the strong form.
The successful transfers and strong start to the campaign have bolstered Moyes’ reputation with the West Ham board as they plot a new offer.
