West Ham keeping tabs on Fleetwood goalkeeper Alex Cairns as Slaven Bilic looks to boost his options in goal

West Ham are monitoring Fleetwood Town goalkeeper Alex Cairns.

The London Stadium side are looking to bring in new keepers this summer and see 24-year-old Cairns as one who can develop and increase competition for the first team.

Cairns, who was released by Leeds United in 2015, has broken into Fleetwood's side this season and played a pivotal role in their rise into League One promotion contention with 15 clean sheets.

The keeper did not play a single game before October last year, but has since cemented his place as first choice starting each of the last 28 league games for the club and refusing to be beaten in over half of those fixtures.
