West Ham scouting Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu ahead of possible transfer
West Ham United have been severely underperforming this season and are lingering in 14th place in the Premier League standings in spite of undergoing a major squad rebuild in the summer.
Julen Lopetegui’s role as the head coach has been precarious though the Spaniard has managed to survive, thanks to a recent win against Wolverhampton Wanderers and a draw versus Bournemouth. Even though he should have done better, there are a number of fragile positions in the squad, not least the goalkeeper’s role.
West Ham’s primary goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has spent six years at the club and has been one of the league’s best shot-stoppers in that time. However, the former Polish international is aged 39 and does not have too many years in the tank. Likewise, Alphonse Areola is also past 30 and has not proven reliable as far as being a first-choice option is considered.
With that in mind, the Hammers are ‘scouting’ Freiburg youngster Noah Atubolu ahead of a potential move for him next year, according to Fabrizio Romano. The transfer insider has added that the German goalkeeper is a ‘potential future target’ for the Premier League side, who could invest some more money on newer acquisitions in the near future.
Atubolu a promising player
Noah Atubolu, aged just 22, is a regular member of the Freiburg starting eleven. He has made 12 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and kept four clean sheets. The Germany U21 international has an imposing presence in between the sticks, thanks to his height of 6 feet and 3 inches, while he is generally good with the ball at his feet as well.
The young goalie’s valuation on Transfermarkt is approximately £8 million, a fee that West Ham will be comfortable paying given that their possible new signing is a long-term option and one of the more promising names in the German top division.
If they manage to land Atubolu, the Londoners could shown Lukasz Fabianski the door with Alphonse Areola taking up the primary role and competing for minutes with the Freiburg player.

Lopetegui prioritising signing Brais Mendez at West Ham
Julen Lopetegui, the Spanish coach of West Ham, could fish in the Real Sociedad squad to reinforce the ranks of the English team
Brais Méndez, an undisputed figure for Real Sociedad, could be living his last months in San Sebastián. West Ham, managed by Julen Lopetegui, has set its sights on the talented Galician midfielder as a priority for the next winter transfer market. The London team is looking to reinforce its squad with a creative player who can provide balance and vision of the game, characteristics that define the Spanish international.
Brais Méndez, on West Ham's radar
This season, Brais has established himself as one of the most outstanding players in LaLiga. His ability to filter passes between the lines and his ease in scoring make him an invaluable resource for Imanol Alguacil. However, West Ham's interest represents a challenge that is difficult to reject for both the player and the txuri-urdin club. Real Sociedad, although not interested in letting their star leave, could listen to offers if they are close to the estimated market values for a player of his level.
Julen Lopetegui, who is familiar with Spanish football and Brais Méndez's potential, has insisted to the Hammers' board of directors on the importance of his signing. The manager is looking to turn around the team's performance in the Premier League and believes that the midfielder can be key in this objective. In addition, Brais' European experience with Real Sociedad makes him even more attractive for a team that aspires to compete both domestically and internationally.
Brais Méndez's future could be decided in the coming weeks. Everything will depend on whether West Ham manage to satisfy Real Sociedad's financial demands and the player's own desire, who is facing a transcendental decision for his professional career.
