West Ham are the only Premier League club in contention to sign Olympiacos goalkeeper Jose Sa, according to a report from Greek media outlet FOS.
Greek media outlet SDNA claimed last month that the Hammers are keen to sign the 27-year-old at the end of this season.

And it has been claimed that West Ham could face competition from the likes of Southampton for the Portuguese ace’s signature.
Greek media outlet FOS now claim that the east London outfit are in fact the only contenders to sign Sa from the Premier League.
The Hammers are fairly well stocked in the goalkeeping department, however. They have Lukasz Fabianski, Darren Randolph and impressive youngsters Nathan Trott and joseph Anang on the books. So signing another stopper will surely not be a priority for them before the start of next season.
Do West Ham really need Sa then?
The 6ft 4in goalkeeper joined the Greek side on a permanent deal in the summer of 2019, having spent the previous season on loan there. And he has really impressed.
He has kept 38 clean sheets in 72 games for Olympiacos and has only let in 49 goals during those outings (Transfermarkt). Those really are very impressive numbers.
Sa, who won the Portuguese league title with Porto in 2018 has great experience. At the age of 27, however, he is still yet to reach his prime years as a goalkeeper.
Sportime claimed earlier this year that the Greek side would be willing to sell the former Porto man for around £13.8 million in the summer.
That price would represent decent value. But West Ham really don’t need Sa. That money would be better off spent elsewhere.
