West Ham have been in contact about a potential move for Queens Park Rangers’ goalkeeper Rob Green.

Green played for the east London club for six years making more than 200 appearances between 2006 and 2012 and they are exploring the possibility of bringing him back.

QPR do not want to lose their No 1 goalkeeper, but he has only a year remaining on his contract — understood to be worth £60,000-per-week — at the club.

Green initially moved from West Ham to QPR on a free transfer three years ago when they could not agree a new deal.

West Ham baulked at his wage demands then, but it is now understood that the player is keen on a move away from QPR, even though he is manager Chris Ramsey’s preferred choice there.

At West Ham, it is unlikely that Green, 35, would replace first-choice Adrian, who is growing a reputation as one of the best stoppers in the Premier League, but he would be a solid deputy.

The club’s other two goalkeepers are Darren Randolph, who was on the bench for the match against Arsenal, and 22-year-old Raphael Spiegel.
