Liverpool face competition from Premier League club who open talks over ambitious move to appoint Ruben Amorim as manager:

Reuben Amòrim 

 could reportedly miss out on Ruben Amorim to West Ham United who may look to replace David Moyes this summer.

The Athletic's David Ornstein reports that the Hammers have held talks over swooping for Amorim if Moyes departs. The Scottish coach's contract expires this summer and the west London outfit are yet to decide his future.

Amorim is high on their shortlist to replace Moyes and they've held discussions with the Sporting CP boss' entourage. The 39-year-old's stock has grown in Liga Portugal and he looks set to guide his side to the double this season.

Liverpool have also been linked with Amorim as Jurgen Klopp leaves Anfield at the end of the season. It's claimed that he isn't expected to be the preferred candidate in the race to replace Klopp.

Amorim has overseen 146 wins in 208 games in charge at the Jose Alvalade Stadium. He arrived in March 2020 and ended Sporting's 19-year wait for the Portuguese title a year later.

West Ham also have former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Julen Lopetegui on their shortlist should Moyes leave. The Spaniard has been out of management since parting ways with Wolves ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
