West Ham hope to complete the signing of Robt Green in time for the QPR goalkeeper to go straight into the side on Saturday.

The club had been considering Anders Lindegaard from Manchester United as his salary was less prohibitive.

QPR have asked to take Darren Randolph on loan as part of the deal even though they have also signed Alex Smithies from Huddersfield.

West Ham will be without first-choice keeper Adrian who has suspended for a rash challenge on Jamie Vardy

Sportsmail revealed West Ham's interest in Green earlier this month but they will have to register him by noon on Friday for him to make his debut against Bournemouth with Adrian suspended.

The Hammers' first-choice goalkeeper was sent off for a late foul on Leicester forward Jamie Vardy as they were beaten 2-1 at home on Saturday.

Slaven Bilic's side then appealed the decision, but the ban was upheld by the FA and Adrian will miss the next three games.
