West Ham manager David Moyes admits their signing of Darren Randolph was pushed through due to Lukasz Fabianski's hip injury.
The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper returned to the Hammers this week for a second spell, but his move from Middlesbrough was delayed due to a thigh injury.

Randolph is now expected to play against Everton this weekend while the Hammers boss is also delighted that Fabianski should be back in training in the next couple of weeks:
