West Ham looking at Fulham boss Jokanovic

West Ham United are believed to be monitoring Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic.

Sky Sports is reporting that the Hammers have Jokanivic in their sights if they happen to part ways with Slaven Bilic at the end of the season.

The former Watford boss has impressed during his 15 months at Crave Cottage and currently has the West London club sitting seventh on the Championship table, just a few points from the play-off spots.

Bilic remains under pressure at the London Stadium although that was slightly lifted with the weekend's 1-0 win over Swansea City.

West Ham are believed to be putting together a shortlist in case results under Bilic do not improve with Newcastle United's Rafa Benitez and former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini included.

But Sky's report indicates that Serbian Jokanovic has impressed the Hammers board with his work at Fulham and is at the top of their Bilic contingency list.
