West Ham eye Heaton move

Talksport understands that West Ham United are eyeing a £10m move for Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton.

The Hammers are on the lookout for a new shot-stopper, with Joe Hart set to be sent back to Manchester City after a disappointing season-long loan at the London Stadium which ended with him being axed from Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad.

On the other hand, Heaton has been named as a back-up for the 23-man party despite having missed the majority of the 2017/18 campaign through injury.

The thirty-two-year-old, who began his career with Manchester United but left before making an appearance, has been at Turf Moor for the past five seasons and has racked up one hundred and seventy-eight appearances in all competitions in that time.

He was handed his England debut as a substitute in a 2-1 friendly victory over Australia back in May 2016 having represented his country at every youth level.
