West Ham United are said to be considering replacing Slaven Bilic with Slavisa Jokanovic or Marco Silva.

Richard Keys told has told his own personal blog that he believes Slaven Bilic will leave West Ham United this summer.

Bilic’s future at West Ham has been heavily speculated about, after what has been a disappointing season.

The Hammers have failed to push on after last campaign, and look set to finish in mid-table.

Bilic only has a year left on his contract at West Ham, with rumours rife that he could be replaced.

And Keys suggests that both Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic and Hull City manager Marco Silva are high up on West Ham’s list of managerial targets.

“I’m sure there’ll be change at The Hammers. Slavisa Jokanovic is well thought of there, but don’t rule out Silva,” Keys wrote.

Bilic, himself, has played down reports that he could leave West Ham – and the expectation, generally, is that he will stay on at the London Stadium.

The Croatian boss has already been making transfer plans for next season, when the pressure will be on him to make an improvement.

Jokanovic has guided Fulham to the play offs in the Championship this season, while Silva made a big impact at Hull – but was unable to keep them in the Premier League.
