West Ham United are chasing QPR boss Neil Warnock.
The Sun says Avram Grant is running out of time with the team bottom of the Premier League and only three games remaining.
Warnock has just taken QPR back into the big-time by clinching the Championship title but Hammers insiders still reckon a deal could be done to lure the controversial Yorkshireman from West to East London.
Warnock is a hate figure among West Ham fans after he considered a personal lawsuit against the club in the wake of the Carlos Tevez affair.
But an Upton Park source said: "Even if QPR did make it into the Premier League, Warnock's still a target.
"He has a fabulous track record of getting teams promoted and the view is that he'd stand a better chance long-term of managing in the top flight with West Ham than with Rangers, because of the relative sizes of the clubs.
"The fans hate Warnock but if he won a few matches and knocked the team into shape would they still hate him or swallow it and back the team?"
