West Ham United to offer Darren Randolph to Newcastle United?

West Ham United will reportedly offer goalkeeper Darren Randolph to Newcastle United should they complete a move for Manchester City stopper Joe Hart.

West Ham United goalkeeper Darren Randolph has reportedly emerged as a potential signing for Newcastle United.

Last season, Randolph established himself as first-choice stopper with the Hammers and went on to make 27 appearances in all competitions.

However, it has been reported that West Ham are keen on signing Joe Hart from Manchester City, a move which would leave the Republic of Ireland international at least second choice at the London Stadium.

According to The Chronicle, Randolph could be offered out and that would leave Newcastle as a possible destination due to Rafael Benitez's desire to sign a new goalkeeper ahead of their return to the Premier League.

The Magpies are well stocked in that department but with Tim Krul being allowed to leave St James' Park and Karl Darlow a target for Middlesbrough, Benitez may require a new first-choice stopper between the sticks.

Despite his experience, the 30-year-old has only made 29 appearances in England's top flight during his career.
