Newcastle want to sign West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph
Newcastle hold a keen interest in signing West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph, according to ExWHUemployee.
Contributing to West Ham Way, the reliable Hammers insider claimed that the 34-year-old is set to leave the club in January.
Given Newcastle’s riches, he believes that the billionaire-owned club can sway him to move to the north of England.
Good riddance
Signing Randolph for the second time was a pointless thing and it showcased where West Ham were as a club back then.
It did not have any long-term foresight and they went for him solely because he was an ex-player and was available.
He was on the back of a “fantastic” season with Middlesbrough, who were in the Championship and did not even secure promotion.
Since joining, he has barely featured for the club and has only taken up space in their roster and wage bill.
Selling him in January would at least mean that the club will get something from his exit.
If they fail to ship him off in the winter, he will leave for free at the end of the season.
The Hammers are believed to be looking to sign new players in the summer and would like all the funds they can get to complete those deals.
