West Ham United want Cardiff City boss Dave Jones to lead them back into the Premier League.
The Daily Mail says Jones is West Ham's top target to replace sacked Avram Grant.
Hammers co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold intend to find a new boss by the end of the month, while Jones's future in Wales is uncertain after he again failed to lead the Bluebirds to top-flight promotion this season.
The 54-year-old was due to hold talks with chief executive Gethin Jenkins and Cardiff's Malaysian owners on Monday to discuss his future. West Ham would give him an immediate route back into management should he leave.
