West Ham United are being linked with Peterborough United goalkeeper Joe Lewis.

The Hammers could be in the market for a new No1 if Robert Green gets a move to a top four club.

A highly-placed source at Upton Park told the News of the World that claims Manchester City's Joe Hart, currently on loan at Birmingham, will be on his way to West Ham if Green leaves are "the product of a fertile imagination".

"That theory came from the fact that the Hammers' current owners took him to St Andrew's," he added. "His name hasn't been mentioned.

"Peterborough's Joe Lewis at £3.5million would be a far more realistic proposition."
