"West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly keen to sign a new goalkeeper this January and has set his sights on Wolves star Jose Sa. The Portuguese shot-stopper has been a key performer at Molineux down the years, and it makes sense that West Ham could view him as an upgrade on their current options. Mads Hermansen has been a disappointment since joining the Hammers in the summer, while Alphonse Areola is probably best as a backup option rather than a regular starter."
"Sa has mostly been first choice for Wolves, but in recent times there's a growing threat from Sam Johnstone, so it could be that his club would be willing to do business this January. West Ham will no doubt look to take advantage of that, and it will be interesting to see if Nuno's relationship with his former club can prove a useful connection."
Nuno Espirito Santo wants Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa as a January signing to strengthen West Ham's goalkeeping. Mads Hermansen has underperformed since his summer arrival, while Alphonse Areola is considered more suited to a backup role than a regular starter. Sa has been Wolves' usual first choice but faces increasing competition from Sam Johnstone, which could make Wolves open to offers. A move to West Ham would offer Sa more regular playing time and improve his chances of earning a place in Portugal's squad for the 2026 World Cup. Nuno's past connection with Wolves could facilitate negotiations.
