West Ham United are being linked with Roma’s Lukasz Skorupski.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, West Ham United are interested in signing Roma goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski this summer, with Fiorentina also keen.
The Hammers appointed their new manager last week as Manuel Pellegrini was landed to replace David Moyes, and work will surely start soon on bringing new signings to the club.
Pellegrini will have a host of areas that need improvement, but one key position is between the sticks, with West Ham in desperate need of a new goalkeeper.
Joe Hart is returning to Manchester City at the end of his disappointing loan spell, whilst question marks still hang over the future of Adrian amid rumours over an exit.
Now, Tuttomercatoweb report that West Ham are keen on signing Roma shot-stopper Lukasz Skorupski, with Serie A side Fiorentina also thought to be pursuing his signature.
Skorupski, 27, joined Roma back in 2013 but the best spell of his career came in a two-year loan spell with Empoli, where he became one of Serie A’s most reliable goalkeepers.
Since returning to Roma, the Polish international – called up to the preliminary World Cup squad – has mostly sat behind star goalkeeper Alisson, and whilst the Brazilian could move on this summer, Skorupski may choose to seek playing time elsewhere.
West Ham could offer him that just weeks after being linked with Polish international team-mate Lukasz Fabianski (The Guardian), and it remains to be seen whether the Hammers firm up their alleged interest in either Pole.
