Hammers linked with Seagulls keeper

West Ham could make a move for Brighton and Hove Albion keeper David Stockdale who is out of contract with the Seagulls in June.

The 31-year-old has been linked with moves to Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Leeds in the past few weeks.

Stockdale was named in the PFA and EFL Championship teams of the year and when asked about his future said: “It’s up in the air, we’ll have to wait and see over the next eight weeks and see where we go from there. I know what the fans think but sometimes in football, there’s other things to it as well.”

Stockdale was instrumental in the Seagulls’ promotion-winning Championship season but there is no deal agreed between the club and player to extend his three-year contract.
