West Ham hold talks with Potter over managerial position

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 has told Sky Sports News 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.

Sky Sports News understands that Everton also retain an interest in Potter, should they decide to replace Sean Dyche.
