Graham Potter leads training at West Ham as future hangs in the balance image

Graham Potter led West Ham's training amidst rumours his exit from the club is imminent. 

The Hammers boss is said to have just one more game before he gets the sack, as West Ham continue to struggle. 

They are yet to get a win in the Premier League, with their most recent defeat at home in the London Stadium to Crystal Palace, 2-1 on September 20. 

The club's board are said to remain undecided on Potter's future, with no wins in eight games.

West Ham are set for two tough away games next, Everton on September 29,  followed by Arsenal on October 4. 

It's now a consideration that West Ham may hold onto Potter for those two games and make change after, during the International break.

Former Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is said to be the front-runner for the job, with two more unnamed potential replacements.

Former West Ham boss Slavan Bilic is said to be in contention and up for returning to the team. 

Club supporters have been outspoken in their unhappiness. 

Before Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace, thousands protested outside the stadium calling for Potter's replacement, a sacking of the board and a change of stadium. 

The squad took part in training on September 22, with Potter still in charge. 

Now Potter will look to take a win away from home at Everton to have any hope of staying put with the Hammers.
