For the past month, West Ham United have tried every trick in the book in an attempt to sign a goalkeeper for the upcoming season. After a few names had been ruled out, it seemed to have settled down to the coaching staff’s choice of Mads Hermansen and Potter and Macaulay’s choice of Zion Suzuki…

That was all we thought! West Ham yesterday sent an offer worth up to €8m to Botafogo for Brazilian goalkeeper John Victor.

The Hammers set off on Wednesday night through to Thursday morning for their second Premier League summer series game against David Moyes' Everton side.

The game not only started with a very different line-up, but we started the fixture with the same patterns of defensive errors as in the 17th minute, Everton made a mockery of Casey and Kilman, as Everton's team glided through our defence, clear as day, the ball in the back of the net with a easy finish for Gueye who made it 1-0 to Everton.

West Ham: Foderingham, Walker-Peters, Casey, Kilman, Mavropanos, Diouf, Potts, Ward-Prowse (C), Irving, Paqueta, Marshall Subs: Areola, Aguerd, Fullkrug, Guilherme, Bowen, Cornet, Rodriguez, Todibo, Soucek, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles, Kante, Golambeckis, Orford, Fearson
Everton: Travers, Patterson, Kean, McNeil, Beto, Ndiaye, O'Brien, Mykolenko, Gana (C), Iroegbunam, Armstrong
