CHERRIES are in talks with West Ham over the potential signing of Darren Randolph, the Daily Echo understands.
35-year-old Randolph has entered the last six months of this contract at the London Stadium, with Cherries interested in bringing the former Republic of Ireland international into their goalkeeping stable.

Gary O’Neil’s current first choice, Neto, has only recently returned from a hamstring injury and also has only six months remaining on his current deal.
Youngster Mark Travers signed a new deal in the summer, securing his future at the Vitality Stadium until the end of the 2026/27 campaign.
Travers and Randolph have worked together before, with the pair involved in numerous international squads for Ireland together.
A popular character in the dressing room, the experienced shot stopper would add depth to Cherries.
Since making his Premier League debut for Charlton in the 2006/07 season, Randolph has made 34 appearances in the top-flight, with 200 further games in the Championship.
He also was capped 50 times by Ireland, playing all four of their games at Euro 2016.
This campaign he has not made a single appearance in any competition for David Moyes' side.
Since rejoining West Ham in 2020, he has played seven times, his last competitive appearance coming in a 3-1 win over West Brom in 2021.
