Julen Lopetegui is set to replace David Moyes as West Ham manager, and despite uncertainties surrounding Lucas Paqueta’s future, the summer transfer window offers a chance for new signings. According to Alan Nixon, Wes Foderingham might be among West Ham’s first additions. The goalkeeper, who played for Sheffield United and will soon be a free agent, had notable performances despite a tough season. He is expected to provide reliable backup for Alphonse Areola, with Lukasz Fabianski likely departing. Though not a high-profile signing, Foderingham would add valuable depth to West Ham’s squad.

Viktor Johansson, the talented goalkeeper once eyed by Sheffield United, is poised to depart Rotherham United following their relegation, according to manager Steve Evans. Johansson’s anticipated exit comes with a reduced transfer fee, believed to be approximately £750,000, owing to a relegation release clause in his contract. With his exceptional shot-stopping abilities, Johansson is expected to attract interest from several clubs, including Leeds United and Stoke City. Despite Sheffield United’s prior hesitations about his distribution skills, Johansson’s Championship experience and modest transfer fee may present an enticing opportunity for potential suitors.

Viktor Johansson, the Swedish goalkeeper, has been a standout performer for Rotherham United amid a challenging Championship season, which has seen them languishing at the bottom of the table and already relegated to League One. Johansson joined Rotherham as a free agent in September 2020, signing a two-year contract after his stint with Leicester City. Despite not making any appearances for Leicester’s senior team, he featured prominently for their under-21’s side in various competitions. Making his debut for Rotherham in a 2-1 victory against Preston North End in 2020, Johansson swiftly established himself as the primary goalkeeper, accumulating over 140 appearances for the club. During his tenure, he has garnered numerous individual awards, including Young Player of the Season and Player of the Year accolades. Moreover, Johansson played a pivotal role in Rotherham’s triumph in the 2021/22 EFL Trophy, orchestrating victories in penalty shootouts on the path to clinching the trophy at Wembley Stadium. With Rotherham’s relegation confirmed, speculation surrounding Johansson’s departure has intensified, with Sheffield United among the clubs reportedly interested in acquiring his services.
