Darren Randolph set to leave West Ham this summer despite heroics for Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND’S Euro 2016 hero Darren Randolph will be allowed to leave West Ham this summer.

The 29-year-old caught the eye of a number of Premier League and Championship clubs after a string of impressive performances in France.

He is the Hammers’ backup goalkeeper behind Adrian and wants to leave for first-team football.

West Ham boss Slavan Bilic will not stand in his way as long as they get a suitable offer of around £3m.

Randolph has two-years left on his current £22,000-a-week deal with the option of a further year.

A West Ham source said: “We’ve all been so proud of Darren and it would come as no surprise were equities to start.

“He’s a top level world class international and were a club to meet our valuation it would be hard to stand in his way.”

Former Charlton stopper Randolph has made six appearances for West Ham after joining them from Birmingham last summer.

Meanwhile, West Ham are closing in on signing Besiktas winger Gokhan Tore on a season-long loan.

It was thought the Hammers had agreed a £10.5m deal for the Turkish international but it is thought he will only join for the year.

The 24-year-old played under Bilic at Besiktas and the pair know each other well.
