Nick Pope could join West Ham

In the summer, West Ham United secured the services of Alphonse Areola on a loan from PSG to strengthen their goalkeeping. Now, his role is rather secondary, so it is unlikely that he will continue in the Premier League in the long term. And, to solve this, the Hammers have turned their attention to Nick Pope, who plays for Burnley.

'Daily Mail' reported that the goalkeeper is a favourite in the West Ham offices. It could be easier than it may seem at first glance to sign him, as although he has a contract until 2023, the Turf Moor club could be relegated this season. A tragic event at one stadium could be the perfect winning argument at another for a new goalkeeper.

Whatever the terms when the parties sit down to negotiate, Pope's market value is 6.2 million euros. The figure is not very high and, given how high David Moyes is leading his side, the finances of his board should be able to support operations of this level.

The player, who has been with Burnley since the 2016-17 season, has plenty of experience in English football. In fact, he has never left. Even so, he has had time to spend time at many different clubs. During his career he has played for Welling United, Charlton Athletic, Cambridge United, Aldershot Town, York City and Bury - apart from Burnley.
