West Ham Targets Goalkeeper Aaron Escandell
As of February 17, 2026, West Ham United has expressed interest in securing the services of Real Oviedo’s goalkeeper, Aaron Escandell.
Reports from Fichajes indicate that the 30-year-old has emerged as a potential target for the Premier League club, although it remains uncertain if a deal can be finalized during the summer transfer window. Despite currently having three goalkeepers on their roster, West Ham is keen to strengthen their options in that position, and future developments will be closely monitored.
West Ham currently has Alphonse Areola, Mads Hermansen, and Lukasz Fabianski on their squad, raising questions about whether any of these players will be sold to accommodate Escandell’s arrival.
Meanwhile, Torino, an Italian club, is also showing interest in the goalkeeper. Escandell’s performances with Oviedo have highlighted his quality, and he is eager to take on the challenge of playing in the Premier League if the move materializes. This might be a pivotal moment in his career, allowing him to showcase his talent at a higher level.
Escandell’s Potential Move to West Ham
A transfer to West Ham could present a compelling opportunity for Escandell. With Oviedo facing relegation, the 30-year-old is likely to explore options for a summer move. Joining the London club may represent an ideal progression for his career at this stage, as he approaches his prime years.
