West Ham United supporters have been wanting Slaven Bilic to sign a new goalkeeper.

Slaven Bilic has admitted to Football.London that West Ham United goalkeeper Darren Randolph was disappointed with his decision to drop him.

Randolph had taken over from Adrian as West Ham’s number one stopper in recent weeks, but dropped down to the substitutes’ bench for Bilic’s side’s latest contest against Everton.

Adrian kept a clean-sheet, as West Ham drew 0-0 in front of their own supporters last weekend.

And Bilic has admitted that Randolph was disappointed to lose his place, even though he explained his decision.

“I had a couple of meetings and explained my decision, like I did with Adrian earlier this season,” Bilic said.

“Darren is a great pro, of course he is disappointed but he understood my decision.”

West Ham have been unable to settle upon a goalkeeper this season.

There have been suggestions that the Hammers could look to sign a new number one stopper in the summer transfer window.

However, Bilic insists that he is happy with his current goalkeeper options, and signing a new custodian is not on his wishlist for the summer.

“No, I am not looking for a new goalkeeper,” the Croatian boss added. “I have two excellent keepers here.”

Adrian is likely to start in goal for West Ham at the weekend, when they take on Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.
