West Ham are considering moves for Darren Randolph and Asmir Begovic next month as they target a new No2 goalkeeper.

The Hammers want to bring in an experienced back-up for Lukasz Fabianski after losing faith in Roberto following his nightmare run in the team.

David Martin has done well since coming in for Roberto last month but he has played just two games in the top flight.

Randolph, 32, spent two years at West Ham between 2015 and 2017, making 42 appearances before he joined Middlesbrough for £5million.

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has fallen out of favour at Bournemouth since joining them for £10m in 2017.

Begovic, 32, is on loan at Qarabag in Azerbaijan but he will be free to join another club when his deal expires on December 31.

Fabianski has been a huge miss for West Ham since he suffered a hip injury at Bournemouth in September. The Hammers hope the Pole will be fit for their Boxing Day clash at Crystal Palace.

Martin, signed from Millwall last summer, has been dependable in the two games he has played since coming in for Roberto and will keep his place against Arsenal on Monday night.

West Ham are hopeful Michail Antonio will be fit to lead the line at London Stadium after he missed their 2-0 defeat at Wolves with a minor groin complaint.

Antonio was not risked at Molineux last Wednesday, having recently returned from three months out with a hamstring injury, but has said he is “feeling good now”.
