West Ham United have agreed a deal for Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham on a free transfer, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has told GIVEMESPORT.
The Blades shot-stopper will sign a two-year deal at the London Stadium after his contract expires.
Foderingham will be in competition with West Ham goalkeepers Alphonso Areola and Lukasz Fabianski next season as the Hammers approach a new era under manager Julen Lopetegui.
The 33-year-old will be looking to bounce back after a difficult Premier League campaign at Bramall Lane as Sheffield United finished bottom while Foderingham conceded 79 goals in 30 starts.
He is now set to become West Ham’s second signing of the season after the Hammers confirmed the signing of young Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme last week.
The 18-year-old, who arrived from Palmeiras on a five-year deal, is regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in South American football.

Foderingham Set for West Ham Medical
The deal is practically agreed
Speaking to GMS, Sheth suggests Foderingham will now undergo a medical ahead of his move to West Ham:
“It’s actually agreed now, obviously it’s a free transfer, he was at Sheffield United. His contract officially expires very, very soon.
“Everything seems to have now been agreed between West Ham United and Foderingham’s representatives, he will sign a two-year deal, they will clear his medical and personal terms and he will become a West Ham United player to compete with Lukasz Fabianski and Alphonse Areola.”
Foderingham, who joined Sheffield United from Rangers in 2020, went on to make 112 appearances for the Blades, leading them to promotion to the Premier League in 2023, and made his Premier League debut last season.
West Ham are expected to step up their interest in Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri this week as manager Julen Lopetegui wants to sign the Moroccan, according to GMS sources.
The Hammers are keen to bring in a new centre-forward this summer after relying on the services of Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen up front last season.
GMS sources have revealed that West Ham want to understand Sevilla’s demands for En-Nesyri, as well as learning about the 27-year-old’s interest in the Premier League.
Lopetegui is said to be “on board” to sign En-Nesyri – the pair worked together at Sevilla from 2020-2022 and lifted the Europa League title.
After joining Sevilla from Leganes in 2020, En-Nesyri managed 73 goals in 196 games for the club.
