According to a report on SkySports, West ham have beaten Leeds Utd to the signature of the out-of-contract Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis. The article says: Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis is undergoing a medical with West Ham, Sky Sports News understands.
As revealed by skysports.com earlier on Tuesday, the 32-year-old has emerged as a transfer target for the Hammers.
Gianfranco Zola’s side have moved ahead of League One side Leeds United in the race to secure Davis’ signature.
The former Sunderland and Ipswich goalkeeper is out of contract this summer and is almost certain to leave the financially-crippled Saints.
Zola needs to bring in experienced back-up for established No.1 Robert Green with Jan Lastuvka heading back to Shakhtar Donetsk following his season-long loan deal.
Do West Ham fans think he is a fair replacement if Robert Green gets injured?
