West Ham boss David Moyes is eager to secure Lukasz Fabianski to a new contract.
Former Arsenal keeper Fabianski, 35, has become a mainstay of West Ham's improvement under Moyes, but is out of contract in the summer.
The Poland international, with over 50 caps, is being offered a two-year extension but manager Moyes has revealed his concerns over the uncertainty of ever changing lockdown regulations placing football under threat.
He said: "Covid is playing a part for a lot of clubs because obviously any contracts getting given out just now, I'd have thought if anything shut down, how would it work?
"I'm hoping I don't ever have to use the R word this year but you know until you get 40 points then you do sometimes, and that also plays a part as well.
"But because the crowds aren't there it makes it really difficult for the owners, not just for our club but any club."
