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.
