West Ham are in advanced talks to sign Millwall goalkeeper David Martin.

With Adrian on his way this summer and the club ready to allow Nathan Trott to join a Chapionship club on loan, Martin is set to become back up to Lukasz Fabianski on a one or two year deal.

The 33 year – despite reportedly having been offered a new contract by Millwall – is ready to quit The Den for the London Stadium.

The Irons were never likely to spend heavily on a back-up stopper in the current circumstances believing Trott to the their future behind the sticks.

And Martin – despite having made 339 appearances at MK Dons over seven years – has appeared just 15 times since joining the south London outfit.

The Hammers were only ever in the keeper market for an experienced keeper who could be signed on a short one or two year term deal and, according to The Mail, Martin is the one they are going for.

Meanwhile the club will entertain loan offers for Under 23 Trott who according to training ground sources is more than ready for a move to a quality Championship outfit.

The stopper signed a new three year deal earlier in the year declaring at the time : “Signing this new deal is a great moment for me

“When you’re working hard every day on the training pitch, trying to perform as best as you can for the manager, and your hard work gets noticed, it’s a great feeling.”
