West Ham United are said to be keen on the Newcastle United boss.
West Ham United fans have called for Rafael Benitez to come in, and they want Xherdan Shaqiri to be his first signing.
Newcastle United boss Benitez’s future is in doubt, as he has still not been given assurances over transfers in the summer.
There is a growing clamour among West Ham supporters for David Moyes to be replaced, even though he has kept them in the Premier League.
The Hammers are desperate for more entertaining football to be on display at the London Stadium.
And they feel that the additions of Benitez and Shaqiri this summer could provide them with that.
West Ham have been linked with Stoke City’s Shaqiri ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Potters have been relegated into Championship for next season, and Shaqiri seems almost certain to leave, with a £12 million relegation release clause in his contract, as reported by the Stoke Sentinel.
The Swiss international has been in excellent form this season, and without him Stoke would have been relegated much sooner.
If Shaqiri was to move to West Ham he would increase the creative options available to the Hammers considerably next term.
