Exclusive: West Ham United are still aiming to be active in the transfer window despite Julen Lopetegui being on the brink

Graham Potter is considering an offer to become West Ham ’s new manager, with Julen Lopetegui on the cusp of being sacked just six months into his reign. Lopetegui, who took up his post in July, has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks and Saturday’s 4-1 defeat away at Manchester City could prove to be the final straw.

Graham Potter has taken up a new position amid reports that he is in talks with West Ham owner David Sullivan over replacing under-pressure Julen Lopetegui.
