Virals: West Ham given ‘another chance’ to sign Robin Olsen this summer

West Ham are reportedly back in contention to sign AS Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen this summer. 

The Swedish stopper was on the Hammers radar earlier in the window before edging towards a move to French Ligue 1 champions Lille. 

However, that switch looks to be off the cards and the Irons could swoop once again for the 31-year-old. 

That’s according to a report from Il Romanista, as cited by RumorsTransfersNews24/7 on Twitter. 

Olsen made 11 appearances on loan at Everton under Carlo Ancelotti last season – earning an average 6.87 Sofascore rating from seven Premier League outings. 

Capped 48 times at senior level by Sweden, the experienced ‘keeper has also added 267 domestic career appearances across spells with six clubs. 

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Signing a goalkeeper has seemingly never been so taxing. 

Irons’ boss David Moyes is determined to find quality cover and competition for Lukasz Fabianski this summer as the Pole enters the last 12 months of his contract at the London Stadium.

Linked with Alphonse Areola and Sam Johnstone as well as Olsen once again, West Ham are relatively spoilt for choice it would seem.
