West Ham United should think about joining the hunt for former Huddersfield Town star Jonas Lossl.

The Dane is now a free agent following relegation from the Premier League after being released by the club.

Lossl only made a permanent switch to the Terriers last summer after spending 2017/18 on loan at the John Smith’s Stadium.

His form waned a bit towards the end of 2018/19, but on the whole Lossl has shown himself to a be a capable top-flight goalkeeper over the past couple of years.

The Daily Mail have reported he has held talks over a possible move to Everton, but he’d be a decent acquisition for West Ham.

TBR’s view

West Ham need backup for Lukasz Fabianski, who is Manuel Pellegrini’s established number one at the London Stadium.

The Poland international had a brilliant first campaign for the Hammers and will be one of the first names on the teamsheet in 2019/20.

But West Ham need cover for him, with Adrian set to leave the club.

The Spanish stopper appeared to bid a farewell to supporters after the club’s final game against Watford, and football.london reported he is set to be released.

At no cost, Lossl really would be a great replacement for Adrian and ideal backup for the brilliant Fabianski.
