West Ham are believed to in a battle for the services of Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski.
The Hammers face major competition from Southampton for the Polish stopper and could be eyeing up a love for the potential long-term successor to compatriot Lukasz Fabianski.
The 23-year-old has become a regular for the Serie A side and has continued to perform despite the overall disappointing performances from the club.
Now the Polish ace could be pushed towards the Premier League as Fiorentina weigh up a move for Juventus number two Mattia Perin.
That’s according to a report from Viola News, as cited by It’s The Sport News on Twitter.

Dragowski earned a first Poland cap last October, playing in a 5-1 friendly victory over Finland.
During 2020/21 the Pole played 36 times in Serie A for La Viola, during which time the stopper was heralded for a ‘superman’ like performance against champions-elect Inter Milan, earning an average Sofascore rating of 6.72.

Valued at £14.4million and under contract in Florence until 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing Dragowski would likely represent a large outlay from the Irons’ budget this summer.
Apparent links to various goalkeepers have been emerging for some time as it seems David Moyes is determined to plan for the future of the position.
Some 13 years younger than Fabianski, the Polish ace would certainly represent a long term investment at almost any fee.
