West Ham United are set to complete their first piece of January business with the return of Middlesbrough goalkeeper Darren Randolph.
According to The Athletic, The Hammers have agreed a £4million fee to bring him back to the London Stadium and it should be confirmed in the next 48 hours.
Since leaving for Teeside in 2017, Randolph has flourished into one of the Championship’s top goalkeepers.
This has left many Middlesbrough fans furious with how much West Ham are paying for the 32-year-old…

Twitter: @EverythingMFC @TheAthleticUK 4 million? He’s a better keeper than when we bought him. (@sharmick89)
Twitter: @EverythingMFC @TheAthleticUK Given he’s in contract for another 18 months surely £6m + (@tait_steven)

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Randolph impressed while at West Ham and has aged like a fine wine at the Riverside Stadium.
He’ll certainly add quality to David Moyes’ squad and is more than capable of challenging Lukasz Fabianski for the no. 1 shirt.
It’s expected to be the first of a handful of arrivals in East London this month and poses as the perfect start.
