West Ham United are reportedly targeting four players from Championship high flyers Fulham, but what about the manager?

It seems that West Ham United are keeping tabs on half of Fulham’s starting XI right now.

It is understood that manager David Moyes was at Craven Cottage on Tuesday as Fulham beat Leeds United 2-0 with right-back Ryan Fredericks, play-maker Tom Cairney and the red-hot Newcastle United loanee Aleksandar Mitrovic – who scored his eighth goal in nine starts in midweek – on the Scot’s radar.

The Sun believes that goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli is a target, too, with Adrian’s future uncertain and Joe Hart set to return to parent club Manchester City in the summer.

But there is one Fulham man that West Ham fans appear to want above all. And he was in the dugout, rather than on the pitch, when Leeds came to town.

How Slavisa Jokanovic has not been given a chance in the Premier League is anybody’s guess. He led Watford to promotion in 2015 before being sacked and now looks certain to guide Fulham into the play-offs for the second season running, while masterminding some of the most exciting attacking football seen anywhere in Britain right now.

It seems that West Ham’s board are ready to put their faith in David Moyes and extend his contract should he keep them up this season, as reported by the Sun.

But Jokanovic, who Sky claimed was a candidate to replace Slaven Bilic in November, should perhaps be considered again.
