Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is top of the list of goalkeepers that West Ham have drawn up to sign in the January transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is believed to be unhappy with the quality of both first team goalkeepers, Adrian and Darren Randolph, and wants to bring Begovic in on loan until the end of the season.

It seems the biggest obstacle to the move will be Chelsea manager Antonio Conte. The Italian wants to have sufficient backup to first choice Thibaut Courtois and is said to be reluctant about allowing Begovic to leave Stamford Bridge.

The Bosnian international is however keen to leave after failing to establish himself since arriving from Stoke for £8million last summer. He has made just three EFL Cup appearances this season, and has not figured in the Premier League since starting against Liverpool back in May in a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
