Obiang joined West Ham from Italy’s Sampdoria in 2015 and played 23 league matches in his debut campaign but the Spaniard failed to cement a more regular place last season, making just 22 league appearances under manager Slaven Bilic.
“I think here we can do many things. When I start to play, I have confidence and I don’t know why the situation changed (last season), Obiang, 25, told the club’s website.
“I had the possibility to start and to demonstrate what I wanted to demonstrate in my first season here, but for many reasons I didn’t do. Now I have time to do it.”
Obiang is expected to be a part of West Ham’s pre-season tour as the London side travel to Austria, Germany and Iceland before their first league fixture on Aug. 12.
