West Ham are eyeing a summer move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan, according to the Sun this morning.
The USA international has put in some impressive performances in a tough season at Villa Park and Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is reportedly ready to test Villa's resolve with an early bid for £5m-rated Guzan.
Allardyce himself has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal, but is said to have been in negotiations with the club and according to co-chairman David Gold last month, an announcement will be made as soon as Premier League safety is secured. Survival was last night secured after Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Stoke, and Allardyce is believed to be already planning for next season.
The Sun's story also states that Big Sam has made keeper Guzan 'his top transfer target' for next season- an interesting statement, given the recent speculation surrounding on-loan Liverpool striker Andy Carroll.
