Southampton join race for Hammers target Dragowski

Southampton have reportedly joined West Ham in the race to sign Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, relayed by Sport Witness, the Saints, along with recently relegated Huddersfield Town, are monitoring the Polish international, who is on loan at Empoli, ahead of a possible move.

West Ham reportedly scouted the player earlier this month in Empoli’s 1-0 win over Fiorentina, with Dragowski keeping a clean sheet against his parent club. 

The Hammers look set to be active in the market for a new keeper, with experienced number two Adrian set to leave the London Stadium in the summer.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini currently has Dragowski’s national teammate Lukasz Fabianski as his first-choice goalkeeper, however, bringing in the youngster could prove to be a smart piece of business by the club. 

It appears as if Pellegrini will have to do battle with Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl in the race to sign the highly-rated shot-stopper.
