Wes Foderingham, who will be released by Sheffield United at the end of June, is just one of several keepers being considered as West Ham’s third-choice keeper to replace Joseph Anang, who will be released at the end of this month.
Foderingham is on a shortlist, but “all balls are up in the air” when it comes to which keeper West Ham will eventually sign on July 1. According to a high-placed source at the club, no decision has been made yet on who will be the Hammers’ third choice next season.
West Ham had been looking to hijack Nottingham Forest’s swoop for Corinthians goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, and the decision is likely to come down to the player. Shot-stopper Miguel is available to move from Corinthians this summer, with a release clause in his deal set at €4m.
The 6ft 8in Brazilian is highly regarded in South America and is thought to be far more likely to challenge Alphonse Areola for the No. 1 spot.
