West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is eager to go out on loan before the deadline.

The 25-year-old has not played in the Premier League since September and wants more game time before a potential World Cup spot.

Denmark face North Macedonia in their play-off semi-final next month, with the winners playing Czech Republic or the Republic of Ireland as they try to reach the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer.

Hermansen joined West Ham from Leicester City for £16.5m in the summer and started the season as number one but was replaced after just four games by Alphonse Areola.

He has played just once since, the 2-1 FA Cup win over QPR last month.

If West Ham were to let the goalkeeper go, they would need to source a replacement before Monday's 19:00 GMT deadline so there is no guarantee Hermansen will get his wish.
