West Ham shows interest in Caoimhin Kelleher as Liverpool sets goalkeeper’s valuation
WEST HAM is on the hunt for a new top goalkeeper, with Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher among their primary targets.
The Hammers are particularly interested in the 26-year-old Republic of Ireland international and are keen to discuss a potential deal, especially if it can be arranged as a loan.

Kelleher could potentially be available for a transfer from Liverpool, who are rumored to be seeking around £20 million for his services.
West Ham is not only looking for a new goalkeeper, but also aiming to bolster their squad ahead of the summer season and are exploring several elite options.
Another key candidate for consideration is Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale.
The England international is similarly priced at around £20m and is eager to stay in the Premier League following Southampton’s drop to the lower division.
Graham Potter currently favors Alphonse Areola as his starting goalkeeper.
However, Areola has only managed four clean sheets across 21 league matches this season, allowing 34 goals to slip past him.
His difficulties adapting his playstyle to Potter’s tactics have been apparent.
In contrast, Kelleher has proven his abilities this season, conceding just 20 goals in 20 appearances across all competitions and achieving nine clean sheets.

Liverpool seems prepared to let him leave, especially since they have already signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
Kelleher is eager to depart Anfield in search of a starting role elsewhere.
