Liverpool are due to play West Ham in the Premier League today.
It has been a disappointing campaign for the Hammers.
Currently in 16th place, the East London club started the season with Spanish manager Julien Lopetegui but after a summer transfer window that showed early signs of promise, he failed to make his mark on the team and left in December.
Graham Potter took over control of the first-team, and despite steering the club away from the threat of relegation, they still find themselves coasting, unable to compete for European football despite seven games of their season remaining.
Defensively, West Ham have particularly struggled to keep their opponents out, and they will be looking for reinforcements in that area as the summer approaches.
Just hours before the two sides are meant to face off today, Alan Dixon has claimed that West Ham have turned their attention to signing Caoimhin Kelleher as their prime goalkeeper target after earlier links to Aaron Ramsdale.
Kelleher has once again impressed for the Reds this season in the absence of Alisson, but it has only strengthened the argument that the Irish goalkeeper deserves to be first choice at another club.
It just so happens to be that at Liverpool he is stuck behind arguably the best goalkeeper in the world.
Nixon says that the Hammers have Kelleher firmly on their radar and are very keen on bringing him to the club.
West Ham are reportedly said to initially attempt an initial loan move, bit Liverpool may want a straight deal at the same £20m price that Southampton reportedly want for Ramsdale.
Whilst Alisson has returned to the first team for the game today, it could’ve been an interesting sub-plot to the game today if Kelleher did retain his place between the sticks.
