West Ham Targets Kelleher as Liverpool Sets £20m Valuation

West Ham United is actively pursuing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher as they seek to bolster their squad ahead of the summer transfer window. Kelleher, who has impressed with nine clean sheets in 20 appearances this season, is reportedly valued at around £20 million by Liverpool, who are willing to let him leave, especially after signing Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia. While West Ham prefers a loan arrangement, they may need to meet Liverpool's asking price for a permanent deal. The Hammers are also considering Southampton's Aaron Ramsdale, who is similarly priced but has struggled this season. Kelleher is eager for regular first-team football, having been primarily a backup to Alisson Becker at Liverpool. In contrast, West Ham's current first-choice goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola, has only managed four clean sheets in 21 league matches, prompting the need for a more reliable option.
