Espanyol coach Quique Sanchez Flores is being linked with West Ham.

Sport says West Ham are interested in recruiting former Watford boss Sanchez Flores before the start of next season.

The Hammers recently appointed David Moyes as the successor to the departed Slaven Bilic, but it has been reported that the former Manchester United boss has only signed on at the London Stadium until the end of the current campaign.

West Ham were interested in Sanchez Flores before they opted for Moyes but Espanyol, the Spaniard's current club, were unwilling to let him leave during the season.

Sanchez Flores could, however, leave Espanyol at the end of the season, although he is under contract until 2019.
