Slaven Bilic is believed to be considering the West Ham United job.

The Besiktas boss is being heavily linked with the Upton Park role and according to the Daily Star, he is open to a return to east London.

Bilic, who played for the Hammers in 1996/97, is the frontrunner to replace Sam Allardyce if a new deal is not sorted.

The 60-year old is out of contract at the end of the season and the likely vacancy could quite possibly be filled by former Croatia defender Bilic who has been in charge of Turkish side Besiktas since the summer of 2013.
