Graham Potter is considering an offer to become West Ham ’s new manager, with Julen Lopetegui on the cusp of being sacked just six months into his reign. Lopetegui, who took up his post in July, has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks and Saturday’s 4-1 defeat away at Manchester City could prove to be the final straw.

In what appears to be a swift response to the managerial vacancy, former Chelsea boss Graham Potter is reportedly in discussions to take over at West Ham. Potter, who has been without a club since his departure from Chelsea in April 2023, is known for his impressive spell at Brighton, which evidently makes him a strong candidate for the role.

A pair of heavy defeats at the hands of top-of-the-table Liverpool and champions Manchester City could prove to be the final straw for West Ham bosses, who would look to wrap up a deal for Lopetegui’s successor as speedily as possible.
