​West Ham ready to raid Burnley for England keeper Pope

West Ham United are showing keen interest in Nick Pope.

The Burnley and England shot stopper is likely to get relegated with the Clarets this season.

According to the Daily Mail, Hammers boss David Moyes sees Pope as an ideal player to give competition to current no.1 Lukasz Fabianski.

Alphonse Areola is the current no.2, but is only on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.

Areola is attracting interest from Fulham, where he also spent time on loan, and that may lead West Ham to the direction of Pope.

For his part, Pope will be hoping to move to a club where he can compete for a starting spot next term.
