Middlesbrough goalkeeper Darren Randolph is closing in on a £4m move to West Ham.
The Hammers had an undisclosed bid rejected on January 2 but with a fee now agreed, the 32-year old Republic of Ireland international is on his way to east London for a medical.
He spent two seasons at West Ham between 2015 and 2017 before making a £5m move to Boro.
New West Ham boss David Moyes is desperate to sign a new goalkeeper to compete with Lukasz Fabianski for the No 1 jersey and he wants Randolph back at the club.
Moyes is in the market for a new keeper with Fabianski only recently returning to the side after injury and question marks remaining over deputies Roberto and David Martin.
Randolph has been out of Middlesbrough's side since November because of a quad muscle injury.
West Ham are understood to have already been offered the chance to take goalkeeper Asmir Begovic on loan from Premier League rivals Bournemouth.
Begovic has been on loan at Qarabag in Azerbaijan during the first part of the campaign but is understood to want to return to England for the rest of the season, preferably the Premier League.
Another six-month loan at Qarabag is still an option for the Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper, but there is also interest in him from a number of Championship clubs.
