West Ham United must move for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Lukas Hradecky.
West Ham United’s Premier League campaign came to an end on Sunday afternoon with a 3-1 win over Everton at the London Stadium, with a big summer ahead.
A brace from Manuel Lanzini and a powerful strike from Marko Arnautovic handed West Ham a win, which may well prove to be David Moyes’ final game in charge of the club.
West Ham will take time to evaluate whether Moyes will be replaced, but new signings will certainly be needed to prevent another battle against the drop next term.
One position that West Ham must look to improve is in goal, as Joe Hart will return to Manchester City at the end of his disappointing loan spell, whilst Adrian has been linked with a move back to Spain.
A host of goalkeepers have already been linked, but one player West Ham must consider is Eintracht Frankfurt’s Lukas Hradecky, who has been one of the Bundesliga’s top goalkeepers ever since his 2015 move from Brondby.
The 28-year-old is out of contract this summer, so can be signed for free, and his displays in Germany suggest that he may just be the perfect goalkeeper for West Ham to build from at the back.
West Ham would have to move quickly though, as Kicker report that Bayer Leverkusen are lining up a deal to take the Finland international as a potential replacement for Bernd Leno.
The chance to play in the Premier League may be appealing though, and with Clubcall claiming last year that West Ham had been scouting Hradecky, the Hammers should be ready to hijack Leverkusen and hand the goalkeeper a chance to follow in the footsteps of fellow Finn and ex-West Ham shot-stopper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
