West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady suggests that rumours linking the club with Jurgen Klopp are rubbish.

Reports emerged on Tuesday morning that the Hammers had made an audacious bid for the 47-year old who will step down at Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.

However, Brady told Sky Sports that the east London club has not made a move for Klopp who is seen as a potential replacement for Sam Allardyce who is out of contract in the summer.

"It is just nonsense," said Brady. "Sam is the manager, we have talked to him about sitting down at the end of the season, which we will do.

"We have to see what he wants to do going forwards. That's how these things work.

"What sort of money does he want to invest in players? What positions does he want? Those are the conversation you always have, typically, at the end of the season and we make an arrangement going forwards. That's still our intention.

"I think we have, as a board, always made it clear that we sit down with Sam at the end of every season. We've done that since he has joined us and we've done that when his contract has run out before.

"So nothing has changed in that respect. I think our performances - there has been one or two recent ones that haven't been great - overall have definitely improved.

"The team have done very well, we haven't been able to get the results we wanted but the performances have been good.

"Sam has had a good season, we've had a few recent disappointing results - he would be more disappointed than anyone. But, overall, the relationship with Sam is good. He has done what we have asked of him."
