West Ham United are set to overhaul their goalkeeping options.
According to the Daily Mail, West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian San Miguel is attracting interest from London rivals Crystal Palace as Joe Hart nears a move to the London Stadium.
West Ham have so far added just the one new face to their squad this summer having landed defender Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer from Manchester City.
England’s Joe Hart
However, manager Slaven Bilic still needs new additions, and the London Evening Standard report that a deal for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart could go through in the next 24 hours.
England international Hart is expected to sign a season-long loan deal with the Hammers, but his arrival may just force Adrian San Miguel, rather than Darren Randolph, out of the club.
Adrian and Randolph battled for the No. 1 jersey last season with limited success, and the Daily Mail now report that London rivals Crystal Palace are looking to sign Adrian once Hart’s move goes through.
The Spaniard has been a regular for West Ham since his 2013 switch from Real Betis, but he lost his place to Randolph for the majority of last season as Bilic was seemingly left unconvinced.
West Ham United’s Adrian looks dejected
Now, Palace are looking for another goalkeeper having sold Steve Mandanda back to Marseille, and it’s claimed that new Eagles boss Frank de Boer could swoop for Adrian as competition for Wayne Hennessey.
West Ham won’t want to carry Hart, Adrian and Randolph, and they may subsequently be open to letting Adrian leave the club this summer – even if it’s to a London rival.
