West Ham are actively exploring a move for Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, with club insiders and journalist Gianluca Di Marzio confirming the 24-year-old is firmly on their summer shortlist.
With Lukasz Fabianski departing, the Hammers are now prioritising a new No.1 — and Hermansen is being considered a smart, long-term solution.
Di Marzio: “West Ham Would Be the Right Option”
Hermansen joined Leicester in 2023 for €7.7m, and despite a solid debut season, relegation to the Championship means his future is now uncertain.
“Mads Hermansen could be on his way to West Ham. The club really likes him. I don’t believe he’ll stay at Leicester — and I think West Ham is the right option.” — Gianluca Di Marzio
Leicester are under no pressure to sell, with Hermansen tied down until 2028, but would demand a “good amount”, likely close to or above the €8m they paid.

Analyst Verdict
Hermansen is Premier League ready, calm with the ball, and suits a build-from-the-back system. For under €10m, West Ham could land a keeper with massive upside, international credentials, and resale value.
If Di Marzio’s suggestion holds weight, this is a deal to watch closely.
