Ruben Amorim is in London for talks with West Ham about taking over from David Moyes.
Moyes is out of contract this summer and is expected to leave the club after seven seasons at the Hammers.
Amorim was the bookies favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, but these latest developments have thrown the cat amongst the pigeons.
Liverpool fans are now scrambling for an alternative, with some even considering Jose Mourinho.
