    Per talkSPORT, West Ham have held talks with Southampton 'keeper Ramsdale over a deal to bring him to east London.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Southampton reportedly want around £20 million ($27m) if they are to allow Ramsdale to leave the club. He earns around £100,000-per-week, and it is unclear if the Hammers would be willing to match that. Lukasz Fabianski has departed the club, but Alphonse Areola remains their No.1.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Ramsdale has won five England caps but he endured a truly terrible season with the Saints as they finished rock-bottom of the Premier League. The 27-year-old made 30 appearances and only kept three clean sheets; he conceded 66 goals in total.
