Keeper speculation makes no sense

PSG keeper Alphonse Areola spent last season on loan at Fulham and has now returned to his parent club, Paris Saint-Germian, after the West London club were relegated from the Premier League. Four days ago, Foot Mercato  claimed the Hammers are interested in taking the 28-year-old on a loan deal with an option to buy.

Those claims are now backed up by Tuesday’s edition of L’Equipe and they state David Moyes ‘wants’ the Frenchman.

Fulham also paid a loan fee to PSG last season though to be around 5 million  Euros which is around £4.3m

These reports make no sense,  a goal keeper is not a priority position for David Moyes this summer yet we are supposed to believe we are going to £4.3m fee and £8.3m in wages for a combined cost of £12.6m for just one season.  The option to buy is thought to be another £21m with a four year contract costing another £33m in wages.

A five year deal could end up costing £67m! It just doesn’t add up!
