West Ham United have held talks with Graham Potter about the managerial position in the event Julen Lopetegui leaves the club.

Lopetegui remains in situ for now, but the club have been discussing his future following a run that has seen West Ham pick up eight points from their last eight games.

One source revealed that Lopetegui will be sacked once they have an agreement in principle with a preferred target - understood to be Potter.

As it stands, there is no agreement with Potter or any other manager.

Everton also retain an interest in Potter, should they decide to replace Sean Dyche.

Potter has been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea in April 2023 after a seven-month spell with the club, despite signing a five-year deal to replace Thomas Tuchel.

The 49-year-old was previously with Brighton for three years, helping them to a ninth-place Premier League finish in 2021/22, their highest-ever finish at that time.
