West Ham join Everton and Manchester United in race for Jasper Cillessen

West Ham have reportedly joined Everton and Manchester United in the race to land Barcelona keeper Jasper Cillessen, according to Spanish outlet Sport, cited by Football Oranje.

Cillessen looks set to leave the Nou Camp this summer in search of regular game time and Barcelona have reportedly slashed their €60 million asking price down to €20 million.

The 30-year-old featured just 11 times under Ernesto Valverde last season, with the majority of his appearances coming in the Copa del Rey.

The goalkeeper also recently helped the Netherlands to the Nations League final, with Ronald Koeman’s side losing to Portugal on Sunday.

And according to the reports, the Hammers have joined the Toffees and the Red Devils in the race to secure Cillessen’s services next season.

The report goes on to add that the Dutch international is in negotiations with two of the three sides, however, the story doesn’t reveal which two clubs are currently involved in discussions.

If Cillessen did make the move to the London Stadium, he may well find himself warming the bench again, with current first-choice keeper Lukasz Fabianski one of Manuel Pellegrini’s standout performers last season.
