Hammers look for keeper alternatives

Yesterday afternoon Chelsea officially confirmed what Claret and Hugh told you three days ago, namely that Willy Caballero has signed a 12-month contract extension at Chelsea for the forthcoming 2019/20 campaign.

West Ham had enquired about the availability of Caballero who has previously played under Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City but was told that Chelsea had activated a one year option on their keeper. The West London side faces a transfer ban this summer so are trying to conserve as much of their squad as possible.

With Adrian leaving West Ham this month on the expiry his contract the Hammers are in the market for a keeper until Nathan Trott is ready to step up.

According to ITK @EXWHUEmployee the next goalkeeping target could be Huddersfield keeper Jonas Lossi who becomes a free agent next month although other reports suggest Everton are in pole position to land the keeper as their backup to Pickford on a two-year deal claiming he has already completed a medical.

  1. Loss I would be great but tbh I think he would be smart going to a club like Norwich over Everton bc he could actually prob get #1 there over Krul tho he has been good.
    Honestly I’d look at Grant isn’t he in free from Man U now.

    Everyone is talking Trott & I love him but tbh I think Anang gas looker better. I think they both could use loans.

    Look at Dean Henderson he has gone out on loan at every league level & non league now 22yp should of been picked over Butland IMO def better GK. Is loved at Sheff Utd & is a proper professional.
    We need to get both out young Keepers on loans even if league 2

  2. Kerian Westwood from Sheffield Wednesday’s contract is up this summer he he a great grab. 34 now I always thought he has been one of the best in the Championship & could of made the jump to PL.
    I’d imagine Bruce will want to keep hold bc has been their #1 for a while. Bit maybe wants another chance in PL & fancy cup games. He would be a good grab. Then I’d send both Trott & Anang on loan. Both look good always liked Trott but since Anang’s permit finally came in he has been great good in HK7s too. Both same age need to play even if league 2. Dean Henderson has been out on loan since 18 from non league to championship & he is proper professional. U23s just don’t test our keeper’s well enough.
