Overview
- West Ham confirmed Fabiański’s return on a contract running to the end of the 2025/26 season after his summer exit.
- He is set to provide experienced cover as third-choice behind Alphonse Areola and summer signing Mads Hermansen.
- Wes Foderingham’s move to Aris Limassol left only two senior goalkeepers, prompting the club to add depth quickly.
- Performance concerns accelerated the decision, with Hermansen conceding eight goals in his first two league games and Areola struggling in a Carabao Cup defeat.
- Alternative targets fell through, with a loan for Manchester United’s Andre Onana blocked by chairman David Sullivan and John Victor choosing Nottingham Forest.
