West Ham are one of a host of Premier League teams ready to make a move for Chelsea’s Asmir Begovic should he be available this summer, according to The Sun.

The Bosnian goalkeeper moved to Stamford Bridge last summer from Stoke and has been in-and-out of the Blues’ starting line-up this season.

Thibuat Courtois has got the nod to play more often than not, but Begovic has featured when the Belgian has been unavailable or injured.

There are doubts over plenty of the Chelsea squad’s futures, with Antonio Conte set to arrive in the summer and a number of the current players set to leave Stamford Bridge as a result.

The report suggests that Slaven Bilic’s men are eyeing up a move for Begovic should he not be first choice at Chelsea next season, but Everton and Crystal Palace are also in the running to sign the Eastern European stalwart.
