Paulo Fonseca has been linked to the West Ham job.

The Daily Mirror have reported that Shakhtar Donetsk manager Paulo Fonseca held “positive” talks with West Ham United before viewing a luxurious one-bedroom property soon after.

The 45-year-old boss has been strongly linked with a move to Everton for much of the 2017-18 campaign, after guiding Ukraine giants Shakhtar to a domestic treble as well as reaching the last 16 of the Champions League.

However, recent reports suggest West Ham are interesting in the Portuguese boss, with David Moyes’ future at the London Stadium in doubt after only being handed a contract until the end of the season.

Former Manchester United and Everton boss Moyes has done what was asked of him since taking over from Slaven Bilic, guiding the Hammers to safety in 13th place.

But it appears that his long-term future may be away from the London Stadium, with the Hammers holding talks with Fonseca that are said to have gone well.

The former Braga and Porto manager house viewing shortly after the interview with West Ham suggests that he could be inching closer to a move to east London to replace Moyes, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
