Manuel Pellegrini looking to Reim’s Edouard Mendy as first West Ham signing
According to the , Manuel Pellegrini and West Ham United have already identified a replacement for Joe Hart as the Hammers look to strengthen in a position that came under severe scrutiny throughout the previous campaign.
The Chilean boss is keen on highly-rated Reims goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to kick off his reign as the new Hammers boss.
The 25-year-old Guinea-Bissau international, who is rated at , would be a smart appointment considering the east London outfit are lacking options for the number one jersey.
Joe Hart will return to parent club Manchester City after failing to impress at the London Stadium, whilst Adrian is another figure who has failed to demonstrate why fans should be satisfied with his displays.
Mendy’s time in France saw him play a starring role in Reims’ promotion to Ligue 1 this season, keeping 17 clean sheets in 31 games, whilst conceding just 19 goals across the course of the campaign.
At £2 million, the 6ft 5 keeper is worth a gamble considering the Hammers thin number of keeper options and, just 26 years of age, the Frenchman undoubtedly has a long career ahead of him and Pellegrini should gamble in bringing him to the Premier League.
If West Ham are to achieve a targeted top 10 finish, they have to strengthen in the right areas. Mendy would be an assured figure between the sticks and the addition of one or two defenders could shape a back four less susceptible to conceding goals.
The Hammers will have to move quickly as the French keeper comes with a considerably low asking price, and if Pellegrini isn’t quick he runs the risk of allowing other clubs to swoop for the Reim ace.
