West Ham United are reportedly pursuing Wojciech Szcesny.
Wojciech Szczesny
According to Italian newspaper Il Mattino, West Ham United are in the race to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, challenging Napoli for his signature.
The Hammers are in the market for a number of signings this summer, and have already brought in one new face, as ex-Manchester City right back Pablo Zabaleta has arrived on a free transfer.

Manager Slaven Bilic will hope to make more additions after a disappointing season, and he may well look to bring in another goalkeeper after a muddled season between the sticks.
Adrian started and ended the season as West Ham’s goalkeeper, but he lost his place to Darren Randolph during the campaign, with neither player really proving themselves as a truly quality Premier League goalkeeper.

Now, Italian newspaper Il Mattino report that West Ham are now pursuing the signature of Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, and will battle Napoli in the race to land him this summer.
Szczesny, 27, is coming to the end of a two-year loan deal with Serie A giants Roma, where he has made a total of 81 appearances in a fruitful stint in the Eternal City.

The Poland international is now set to return to Arsenal, but with Petr Cech the undoubted first-choice shot stopper at the Emirates Stadium, Szczesny may look to leave the Gunners on a permanent basis.
West Ham are now believed to be challenging AC Milan and Napoli for Szcesny’s services, which would leave him with a big decision to make; stay in Italy, where he has played regularly with Roma, or have another shot in the Premier League with the Hammers, where he should become first-choice.
