Teddy Sheringham is set to join the coaching staff at West Ham United.
The Daily Mail says Sheringham has emerged as a shock contender for the role of forwards coach at West Ham.
Sam Allardyce has been told to introduce a more attacking brand of football if he wants to remain as manager, with the recruitment of a more offensive coach part of the deal.
Sheringham, the 48-year-old former Manchester United and England striker who spent three years at Upton Park towards the end of his career, has been approached about the position.
