West Ham are reportedly hopeful that Manuel Pellegrini will sign a deal to become their new first-team manager on Monday.
According to claims from the Telegraph’s Chief Football Correspondent, Jason Burt, the Chilean has flown in for talks with the top brass at the London Stadium and is ready to discuss terms imminently.

West Ham confirmed last week that David Moyes’ short-term contract at the club would not be extended, meaning that the search for a new boss was underway.
A number of managerial candidates have been linked with the vacant post at the London Stadium but if the Telegraph are to be believed, Pellegrini is the most favourable man for the job.
Pellegrini has left his role at Hebei China Fortune, as confirmed by the club on Saturday, as he aims to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
After a difficult season in the Premier League, the Hammers’ hierarchy will be desperately hoping to get this appointment spot on and it appears as though they view Pellegrini as the perfect man to revitalise the team.
