West Ham are now keen to sign a £120,000-a-week “extraordinary” player looking to join Newcastle

West Ham United continue to be linked with new goalkeepers – and Manchester United’s Dean Henderson can be added to the list.

The Hammers have an experienced goalkeeper in Lukasz Fabianski but there are questions about who will compete with him next season.

Alphonse Areola’s loan from Paris Saint-Germain ends this summer. It’s unclear if Areola wants to return to West Ham.

West Bromwich Albion’s Sam Johnstone has been linked but it looks like he is more likely to join Tottenham Hotspur.

That has West Ham looking elsewhere and Henderson is now seen as a target.

The Sun report that West Ham are just one of several clubs chasing Henderson this summer.

Fulham and Bournemouth are both keen on Henderson as they move up – and the same goes for Middlesbrough, which is managed by Henderson’s former Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder.

United are reportedly willing to pay part of Henderson’s £120,000-a-week wages to get him out on loan this summer.

Henderson needs first-team action. The 25-year-old has not played a single minute in the Premier League this season and has no chance of replacing David De Gea.

With his hopes of England dwindling ahead of the World Cup, Henderson has to look elsewhere.

When you shine at Sheffield United, Henderson was hailed as “extraordinary” by teammate Sander Berge and now he really has to show it again.

West Ham may be able to offer Henderson action if they decide to replace Fabianski but a move elsewhere seems more likely.

Reports recently suggested that Henderson is Newcastle’s first choice target as they eye a new goalkeeper.

Henderson is even said to be interested in a move to Newcastle, so joining the Magpies seems a very realistic move.

We’d suggest Areola’s return is West Ham’s most likely move as they assess their options in goal, with Henderson more likely to join Newcastle.
