West Ham United will reportedly try and offload Roberto in the January transfer window.

West Hams goalkeeper Roberto dejected during the Premier League match between West Ham United and Newcastle United at the Boleyn Ground, London on Saturday 2nd November 2019.

West Ham United fans think that the club are being far too optimistic trying to find a buyer for Roberto.

The Guardian claim that West Ham want to sell Roberto in January, with the Hammers hoping that a Turkish club could come in for the hapless goalkeeper.

However, West Ham fans fear that no suitors will emerge for Roberto, who has been nothing short of abject during his time at the London Stadium so far.

Roberto was brought in to West Ham to provide competition for Lukasz Fabianski, but he has proven to be well short of the quality required to play in the Premier League.

The 33-year-old has been hugely error prone, after getting his chance following an injury to Fabianski.

Third choice goalkeeper David Martin has had to be called into West Ham’s first-team in recent weeks, after Roberto’s series of woeful performances.

The Guardian claim that Roberto’s terrible form at West Ham has also put transfer chief Mario Husillos under pressure at the London club, and he could also depart sooner rather than later.
