West Ham line up Richard Wright as Robert Green's replacement
West Ham have earmarked ex-England man Richard Wright as a possible successor to calamity keeper Robert Green. [LNB]While Green attempts to put his World Cup clanger behind him and retain his place in Fabio Capello's side for Friday's clash with Algeria, the Hammers are in talks with Wright after he was surprisingly dumped by Ipswich boss Roy Keane.

[LNB]Wright, who left home-town club Ipswich for Arsenal in 2001 and then subsequently joined Everton, was signed by then manager Alan Curbishley three years ago but in just one season at Upton Park he made only three senior appearances, all of them in the League Cup, while Green was ever-present in the League. [LNB]Capped twice by England, he returned to Ipswich in 2008 and was first choice until Keane axed him last season in preference to new signing Brian Murphy from League of Ireland champions Bohemians. [LNB]Keane later released Wright and he had been linked with a move to League One side Charlton until West Ham recently opened negotiations to re-sign him.
