West Ham United shortlist Simon Mignolet

Simon Mignolet

West Ham United have reportedly shortlisted Simon Mignolet as a potential transfer target ahead of the January transfer window.

It is claimed that the 28-year-old is on a list of potential targets with Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic said to be their primary target.

Mignolet, who was given a run out against Leeds United in last night’s League Cup win over visitors Leeds United, would be available for a transfer at the right price but the club aren’t currently looking to move him on.

West Ham have conceded 24 goals in 13 Premier League matches and if they don’t strengthen at the back soon, they will almost certainly face a relegation battle.

Hammers’ first choice ‘keeper Adrian was dropped in favour of Darren Randolph for their last two games but it would appear that Slaven Bilic still sees his goalkeeping position as one that needs addressing.
