The Darren Randolph transfer rumours have officially ended

That settles that.

Darren Randolph was linked with a transfer following his displays at Euro 2016. West Ham were reportedly ready to accept bids worth £2m for the 29-year-old, and Southampton were understood to be interested in signing him. However, The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper has signed a new four-year deal with the Hammers, ending any speculation that he would be leaving the London club this summer.

"Signing a new contract means I want to stay here for a long time and be part of what is going on with the club, moving into a new stadium and a new training ground – it's all very positive and exciting."

"I spoke to the manager and I know we both have the opportunity to work towards that No1 position, which was part of the reason I was happy to sign a new contract. It is good to know I have the manager’s backing and it certainly helps my confidence to know he believes in what I can do."
