Middlesbrough goalkeeper Darren Randolph will reportedly join West Ham United.
It has been reported that Premier League outfit West Ham will pay Championship club Middlesbrough a transfer fee of £4 million to secure the services of Randolph.
The report has claimed that the Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper has been subjected to “rigorous medical”, as he has a hip problem at the moment.
It has been added that West Ham will finalise the deal to bring the 32-year-old goalkeeper today.
Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate told The Northern Echo: “Darren is in negotiations with a Premier League team at the minute. He’s in negotiations so let’s see what happens.”
Overcoming medical hurdle
The Guardian reported on Wednesday that Randolph’s move to West Ham was put on hold due to his current injury, but the new report in The Northern Echo suggests that everything is set for him to become the London club’s first signing of the January transfer window.
Lukasz Fabianski is the first-choice goalkeeper at West Ham at the moment, but Randolph will be a good back-up, especially as he has been on the books of the Hammers before.
