WEST HAM will reportedly make an approach for Portsmouth manager Avram Grant after Saturday's FA Cup final.
ESPN claim the Hammers will swoop for the Isreali boss after he has slugged it out with former employers Chelsea at Wembley.
West Ham owners David Gold and David Sullivan moved to sack Gianfranco Zola this week after the Italian guided the team to Premier League safety with the club's lowest points total in the league's history.
Grant is understood to have a get-out clause in his contract with the Fratton Park side and is thought to be at the top of West Ham's wanted list.
Other candidates for the job include ex-England manager Glenn Hoddle and Real Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano.
