West Ham United youngster Joseph Anang is reportedly set to join Derby County on a season-long loan imminently.

That’s according to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook who claims that the 22-year-old is closing in on a loan switch to League One side Derby.

Anang has spent recent loan spells away from the London Stadium with the likes of Stevenage and St Patricks and he really impressed.

The young stopper is well behind Alphonse Areola, Lukasz Fabianski and Darren Randolph ni the goalkeeping ranks at West Ham though.

And a loan move away from the club is exactly what he needs…

Joseph Anang set to leave West Ham for Derby

Alex Crook reckons that it’s only a matter of time before the 22-year-old joins the Rams on loan:

We think that Anang is 100% doing the right thing by leaving the London Stadium on loan.

He’s a real talent and if he stayed at West Ham, he would have had no chance whatsoever of playing regularly.

The 22-year-old is very strong aerially and commands his penalty area with authority. He’s a good shot-stopper as well.

He’s still very highly-rated at the London Stadium.

And if Joseph Anang does leave West Ham on loan to join Derby, let’s hope that he is a real success.
