Davis set to join West Ham

Southampton keeper Kelvin Davis is poised to join Premier League side West Ham.

The Southampton captain’s contract expires this summer and Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola wants Davis as a back up to Robert Green.

Davis is understood to be having a medical with the East London outfit, and West Ham are preparing a bid for the ex-Sunderland keeper.

The 32-year-old had been linked with League One rivals Leeds United, but Zola fronts the hunt for the experienced keeper who won Southampton’s player of the season last year.
