‘He will join’: Sky journalist says West Ham are set to sign player Jurgen Klopp once deemed ‘incredible’

West Ham United are set to sign goalkeeper Wes Foderingham on a free transfer, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth. Foderingham’s contract with Sheffield United is expiring soon, and he has agreed to join the Hammers on a two-year deal.The signing of Foderingham will likely see Nathan Trott leave the club, with Sheth reporting that Trott is finalizing a £1.5million move to FC Copenhagen. Foderingham’s arrival will provide West Ham with a experienced goalkeeper, having made over 100 appearances for Sheffield United, including 30 in the Premier League last season.

Foderingham’s impressive form last season caught the attention of former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who praised his “incredible” save against the Reds in December 2023. “I think Mo (Salah) had after a corner where it was an incredible save from the goalie,” Klopp told the official Reds website. “I have no clue how he kept that out of the goal, and other moments where we could have played better.”West Ham’s new manager Julen Lopetegui will be eager to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season, and the signing of Foderingham is a positive start.

The Hammers have already signed Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras this summer, and the addition of Foderingham will provide further depth to their squad.Foderingham’s career has seen him play for several clubs, including Fulham, Crystal Palace, Swindon, Rangers, and Sheffield United. His experience in the Premier League and Scottish Premiership will be valuable to West Ham, who will be looking to improve on their 14th-place finish last season.

The signing of Foderingham is a shrewd move by West Ham, who have managed to secure a talented goalkeeper on a free transfer. With Trott set to leave the club, Foderingham’s arrival will provide a seamless transition in goal, and his experience will be crucial in helping West Ham challenge for a top-half finish next season.As the transfer window continues to heat up, West Ham fans will be eager to see further signings to strengthen their squad. With Foderingham on board, the Hammers have made a positive start to their summer transfer business, and they will be hoping to build on this momentum in the coming weeks.
