West Ham United are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing free-agent David De Gea in the upcoming January transfer window.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper has been without a club since his release in July, despite winning the Golden Glove award in the 2022-23 Premier League season.

De Gea’s situation took a turn when Man United retracted their contract offer, leading to his departure. Now, West Ham are keen on offering him an 18-month deal to secure his services. This interest arises due to the potential departure of both of West Ham’s senior goalkeepers, Lukasz Fabianski and Alphonse Areola.

De Gea, 32, still possesses the quality and experience to make an immediate impact. While his distribution and ball-handling have been criticised, his shot-stopping abilities remain world-class.

Moyes’ counter-attacking style of play could be a perfect fit for De Gea, with most build-up responsibilities falling to the centre-backs. The unexpected link between De Gea and West Ham underscores the club’s determination to reinforce their goalkeeping department. If this move materialises, it could offer De Gea a new opportunity in the Premier League and provide West Ham with a seasoned keeper to navigate their upcoming challenges.
