West Ham Targets Enyeama

West Ham United is believed to be interested in acquiring the services of Nigeria and Hapoel Tel Aviv goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.

The 27-year-old justified his status as one of the best keepers hailing from the African continent when he put in a stellar performance in the recent World Cup 2010 Group B opener that saw Argentina triumph 1-0 against the Super Eagles in Johannesburg on Saturday.

The former Bnei Yehuda shot-stopper made six excellent saves, four of them from Lionel Messi, to be declared as the Man of the Match despite ending up on the losing side.

Now The Sun claims that new Hammers boss Avram Grant has been impressed by the Nigerian, and is plotting a £4 million bid to secure the signature of the player.

Enyeama‘s potential arrival at Upton Park could be yet another blow to first-choice goalkeeper Robert Green, whose recent howler cost England two points against the USA.

Meanwhile, the Hammers are confident of reaching a compromise over a fee for Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

The People says Everton rejected a £7million move for the forward last week after the London club‘s initial £5m offer was shrugged off.

But the Hammers – with Grant confirmed as their new boss – are desperate to boost their attack in light of last season‘s relegation scrap.

Everton wants £10m for its 27-year-old Nigerian, but the final offer is expected to be in the region of £9m and West Ham is confident that the Toffees will accept that.
