WEST HAM keeper Robert Green is being linked with a move to Arsenal.

The 28-year-old has been connected with the north London club in the past.

And reports this morning are suggesting that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger - who has seen Jens Lehmann depart the club - is willing to shell out £6million to snap up the shot-stopper.

Green's future has been cast into doubt this summer after the player publicly called on the Irons to offer him a new contract.

The one-capped England star - - whose consistent performances saw him voted player of the year at Upton Park last term - reckons he is underpaid compared to many of his team mates and, as such, feels undervalued.

And no doubt the prospect of playing Champions League football and challenging for the Premier League title next season would be an appealing option to the former Norwich man.

However, Hammers boss Alan Curbishley would be reluctant to let his number one leave the club.
