Premier League strugglers Fulham are reportedly eyeing Moyes, Wagner, Bristol City coach Lee Johnson and Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke.

David Moyes looks on during the Premier League match between Burnley FC and Brighton & Hove Albion at Turf Moor on December 8, 2018 in Burnley, United Kingdom.

David Moyes is among a number of front-runners to replace Claudio Ranieri at Fulham, as reported by the Express.

Ranieri has sacked by the Cottagers on Thursday after winning just three of his 17 games in charge, a record which leaves the West Londoners ten points adrift of safety in the Premier League with two months of the season remaining.

Scott Parker has taken charge on an interim basis but it seems that Fulham have already drawn up a list of potential full-time replacements.

Moyes, who has been looking to get back into the game after leaving West Ham in May 2018, is understood to be one name in their sights.

Steve Clarke is also under consideration, having done a fine job north of the border with Kilmarnock. The 55-year-old, a former coach at Chelsea, told the Daily Record this week that he will return to England once his time in Ayrshire comes to an end.

The Express also name-checks David Wagner, the highly-rated German who led Huddersfield Town to the top flight in 2017. Wagner has plenty of Championship experience and could be the man to help Fulham adapt to the second division with relegation looking a certainty.

The Mirror (1 March, page 69) has also thrown Lee Johnson’s hat into the ring. At 37, he is one of the most exciting young managers in English football with his unfancied Bristol City side situated in the Championship play-off places.
