West Ham are considering appointing former Liverpool chief Michael Edwards as their new director of football.
Edwards is currently on a break after leaving his role as Liverpool's sporting director at the end of last season. He enjoyed a successful spell on Merseyside, helping Jurgen Klopp's side sign the likes of Mohamed Salah, Alisson, Fabinho and Virgil van Dijk.
West Ham are keen to improve their recruitment after a difficult campaign under David Moyes. Despite bringing in several highly-rated players last summer, the Hammers find themselves 16th in the Premier League and still not mathematically safe from relegation.
