2025 13:45, UK <\/p>\n<p>West Ham are closely monitoring Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa ahead of the January window, sources have told Football Insider.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old was dropped from the <a

href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/leeds\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds United<\/a> in September and has been on the bench ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Sources say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/west-ham\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">West Ham<\/a> have an interest in the Portugal international going into the mid-season transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>The London club are in the market for a keeper who can challenge current number one Alphonse Areola.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves could be willing to let Sa go in order to bring in a new keeper who could go straight into their starting XI.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

Wolves<\/p>\n<p>Sa has spent over four years at Molinuex, but the 32-year-old has recently slipped behind Sam Johnstone in the pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>Johnstone has also faced an uncertain future at

were knocked out of the competition by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/chelsea\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a> at the last 16 stage.<\/p>\n<p><a

goalkeeper, but a series of poor showings meant Areola quickly regained his place in the team.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham would therefore require another goalkeeper, and the experienced Sa could be an ideal
