Fonseca is said to have held talks with West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan on Monday.
Former West Ham United midfielder Don Hutchison has named four players he would like Paulo Fonseca to bring with him to east London – if the Portuguese is appointed Hammers manager.
Fonseca is being strongly tipped to succeed David Moyes at the London Stadium this summer, with the Daily Mail reporting he held 75-minute talks at the home of West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan on Monday.
The 45-year-old has just wrapped up his second league title in as many seasons as manager of Shakhtar Donetsk, whom he also led to the last 16 of the Champions League earlier in the campaign.
And posting on Twitter earlier on Tuesday, Hutchison wrote:
Both Taison and Fred – who is said to have interest from Manchester City and Manchester United – were named in Brazil’s World Cup squad this week, although Bernard missed out despite his 14 caps.
Marlos, meanwhile, has played five times for Ukraine despite being born and raised in the South American nation.
Could Fonesca lure the Shakhtar quartet to West Ham United?
