Manuel Pellegrini, the new West Ham United manager, wants to sign Willy Caballero for a third time, according to the Sun.

Pellegrini brought the Chelsea goalkeeper to Malaga at the start of the decade, and the pair were later reunited at Manchester City.

The newspaper states the 64-year-old is looking to add two new players in Caballero’s position, with Adrian ‘set to quit’ the Hammers – who have already returned Joe Hart to City this summer.

Interestingly, Hart kept Caballero out of the Citizens’ starting XI for much of their time together.

However, it is claimed the lure of being West Ham number one could be ‘huge’ for the 36-year-old, who has a year left on his contract at Chelsea.

David Gold, the West Ham co-owner, has vowed to provide Pellegrini with a budget greater than that of any previous transfer window, although Cabellero’s signing is unlikely to take too big a dent out of that.

Should the Hammers make a move for the Chelsea goalkeeper?
