West Ham Linked with Colchester Keeper

Both The Ipswich Evening Star and The East Anglian Dily Times are linking Colchester goalkeeper Dean Gerken with West Ham. The 22 year old keeper was named Colchester's young-player-of-the-season last term, and has played all but six of this season's fixtures.

The papers say West Ham may make a £500,000 offer this summer. A bid of this size would trigger a clause in Gerken's contract.
