West Ham have reportedly agreed a deal to sign former Rangers keeper Brian Kinnear after his release by the Light Blues earlier this summer.
The Scotland youth international was one of a number of Rangers Academy prospects released at the end of the season – and is set to join several of them by making a move to a Premier League side.
Dapo Mebude and Nathan Young-Coombes have joined Man City and Watford, respectively, while Ciaran Dickson and Harris O’Connor are both on trial at Burnley.
According to the Daily Record, Kinnear will be unveiled imminently by the Hammers as the young keeper gets a chance to get his career back on track following his Rangers release.
Kinnear was one of five players suspended by Rangers earlier this year for breaching Covid rules, spending the final months of his Ibrox career out on loan at Annan Athletic.
His move to the Hammers comes after he had previously been linked with a move to Birmingham City, spending time on trial with the Blues before heading to London.
A similar trial spell with David Moyes’ side appears to have impressed enough to win him a contract and a move to the Premier League.
Kinnear is likely to initially join West Ham’s under-23 squad as he looks to establish himself in England before trying to push for a place in the senior squad.
