In fact, if the club are relegated, the deal would be much easier to conclude.
In the summer, West Ham United secured the services of Alphonse Areola on a loan from PSG to strengthen their goalkeeping. Now, his role is rather secondary, so it is unlikely that he will continue in the Premier League in the long term. And, to solve this, the Hammers have turned their attention to Nick Pope, who plays for Burnley.
'Daily Mail' reported that the goalkeeper is a favourite in the West Ham offices. It could be easier than it may seem at first glance to sign him, as although he has a contract until 2023, the Turf Moor club could be relegated this season. A tragic event at one stadium could be the perfect winning argument at another for a new goalkeeper.
