Julen Lopetegui has met with West Ham owner David Sullivan, talkSPORT understands.

Former Wolves manager Lopetegui is one of the front-runners to replace David Moyes at London Stadium when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Lopetegui, who has also managed Spain, has been out of work since leaving Wolves last summer.

Meanwhile, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim flew to the UK on Monday for face-to-face talks with the Hammers.

The Portuguese was linked with the Liverpool job but is no longer considered in the frame to replace Jurgen Klopp.

Lille head coach Paulo Fonseca is another candidate to take over at the London Stadium after previously holding talks with Sullivan back in 2018.
