West Ham make approach for Leicester’s Hermansen
Mads Hermansen is on West Ham’s shortlist for the goalkeeper position
West Ham have made a formal approach to Leicester for goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
The Hammers are in the market for a goalkeeper after Lukasz Fabianski left when his contract expired in July.
Casper Ankergren is the new goalkeeping coach at West Ham and worked with Hermansen previously at Brondby.
Hermansen made 27 appearances for the Foxes in the Premier League last season, keeping one clean sheet as they suffered relegation to the Championship.
Hermansen’s Leicester contract runs until 2028.
