West Ham United Have Been Offered This 29-Year-Old Goalkeeper: What Should The Hammers Do? | OneFootball

A recent report revealed that West Ham United could be looking to sign Andre Onana from Manchester United, while Fabrizio Romano has denied the reports. Graeme Bailey wrote in United in Focus that West Ham, who are looking for another goalkeeper despite bringing in Mads Hermansen, are showing interest in Onana.

According to sources, Onana was also looking for a way out of Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim did not give him a chance in the opening two games. Meanwhile, Romano clarified on Twitter that there have been no talks with West Ham about Onana’s potential loan and that Senne Lammens’ move to Old Trafford would not necessarily rule Onana out. The situation is taking an interesting turn in the final days of the transfer window.

Should the Hammers sign Onana?

This question presents a complicated situation for West Ham, as the decision to sign the 29-year-old will depend on several factors. Firstly, West Ham must consider their current goalkeeping situation, especially after Mads Hermansen’s early performances. If Hermansen is not really living up to his potential, Onana could be an experienced option, but his performance has also been up and down at Manchester United.

Onana’s career at Manchester United has been a mixture of mistakes and brilliant saves, which has raised questions about his performance. Therefore, the Hammers must consider whether the Cameroon international’s instability could pose any risk to them.

Secondly, given the team’s strategy and budget, does it make sense to invest in a new goalkeeper when Hermansen has just arrived? An expensive loan deal could affect the team’s ability to invest in other important areas. If Ruben Amorim really doesn’t like Onana, it could mean that the player’s confidence may be low, and this could become a problem for West Ham.

Bringing in an experienced goalkeeper is always a good idea, but bringing in a goalkeeper who is already under pressure could be a gamble for the team. Ultimately, the club will have to decide if Onana’s potential outweighs the risks of their recent performance instability and current financial situation.
