The Hammers are one of only nine top-flight clubs who have not switched managers this season but David Moyes' future is far from certain.

West Ham have been underwhelming this campaign and have struggled for goals going forward.

The report claims Potter would "certainly" be among the London club's candidates to succeed the Scotsman if he does depart.

Meanwhile, Leicester may reportedly opt to try Potter again in the summer once the dust from his Chelsea departure has settled, while Crystal Palace may also be in need of a coach when Roy Hodgson leaves again at the end of the season.

Chelsea will also be looking to press on with their managerial change with several managers linked to the role.

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann remains the favourite for many but is believed to be keen on taking time out of the game.

Ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, the only other manager Chelsea interviewed before appointing Potter, is also believed to be among the candidates.

The club will reportedly try and interview at least five candidates before deciding on a successor, with sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley leading the hunt.
