West Ham United will not be short of managerial applicants if they decide to sack Graham Potter, sources have told Football Insider.
Potter is coming under increasing pressure at West Ham, following the East London’s side poor start to the Premier League season.
The Hammers sit 18th in the table, with just three points from their first four games, and are coming off the back of a 3-0 defeat to rivals Tottenham last Saturday (13 September).
Sources say that if West Ham decide to part ways with Potter, then they will have a lot of takers for the manager’s job, as they are still a very attractive prospect.

Kieran McKenna has been spotted in the boardroom at the London Stadium, sparking rumours that he could be on the Hammers’ shortlist.
Multiple Premier League title winner Jose Mourinho is also reportedly interested in the West Ham job, after the Portuguese manager was sacked by Fenerbahce.
