West Ham “target” makes no sense
This surely can`t be right
Apparently, the Irons are interested in signing the PAOK goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski in a £8.5m deal.
Since joining from Ajax last year he has been a very effective custodian and managed a decent 18 clean sheets in 41 appearances last campaign.
But the Irons already have four goal keepers!
Our current number one , the ex Polish international Łukasz Fabiański has recently signed a new one year contract but he is rapidly approaching pipe and slippers time.
The current heir to the green jersey ( are they green anymore?) is our French stopper Alphonse Areola. A proud owner of a Europa Conference League medal, will probably see him step up for more first team starts.
We also have the highly rated Joseph Anang and the 20 year old U21 Hungarian International Krisztián Hegyi
This does not send out a positive or indeed encouraging message to the two young lads.
Notwithstanding Fabianski`s inevitable departure, we should be encouraging competition for places between the sticks and promoting from within.
