West Ham United player Darren Randolph has been ridiculously photoshopped into the 2022/23 team photo.

The 35-year-old is West Ham’s third choice goalkeeper, and hasn’t actually played a match for the club since May 19th, 2021!

Randolph rejoined the Hammers from Middlesbrough in January 2020 for around £4 million (BBC).

Since then, he has only made five Premier League starts for West Ham though.

Randolph slipped down the goalkeeping pecking order even more so after the arrival of Alphonse Areola from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021.

The 35-year-old is out of contract with the Hammers in the summer of 2023. And judging by the 2022/23 team photo, he won’t be hanging around at the London Stadium for too long…

The 50-capped Republic of Ireland international will surely leave the Hammers either in January for a nominal fee or next summer on a free transfer.

He actually wanted to leave to join either Leeds or Aston Villa in the January transfer window this year, but David Moyes prevented him from doing so.

With Nathan Trott, Joseph Anang and Krisztian Hegyi coming through the ranks, Randolph faces a bleak future at West Ham.

The fact that Moyes kept him at the club just seems strange in all fairness…there really is no need for him.

And it seems as though he wasn’t needed for the West Ham team photo either.

Or maybe he wasn’t well enough to partake in it. Nobody actually knows.

What is clear though is that Darren Randolph was ridiculously photoshopped into the West Ham team photo for the 2022/23 campaign:

Strangely enough, the photoshopped Darren Randolph might just be the last time he is seen in a West Ham United shirt!

It’s just a shame that the club didn’t do a better job with the photoshop!
