West Ham are said to have approached Queens Park Rangers about a possible deal to bring Robert Green back to East London.
Following Jussi Jaaskelainen’s departure to Wigan, West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is searching for an experienced goalkeeper to act as cover for first choice Adrian.
They thought they found that goalkeeper in former Birmingham stopper Darren Randolph who signed a one-year deal with the club in June.
However, following a string of poor performances in the Europa League and in pre-season, Bilic is looking to replace him already with former fan-favourite Green.
The former England international featured in QPR’s 2-0 defeat to Charlton on Saturday, and Rangers boss Chris Ramsey wants to keep hold of the 35-year-old shot stopper.
Although Ramsey doesn’t want to sell the player who spent six years at the Boleyn Ground, QPR are trying to offload the high earners and the goalkeeper who is on £50,000 a week falls into that category.

Green enjoyed a successful season in the Premier League last season, looking comfortable when called upon. This could have influenced why Bilic believes he could be a good player to have as a back-up goalkeeper.
With only one year left on Green’s contract, the Hammers may be able to tempt Rangers into a deal.
