West Ham will decide Julen Lopetegui's immediate future by the weekend. Lopetegui is under huge pressure following Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at Leicester and sources say the manager's future hinges on a club board meeting to be held later this week.

West Ham are set to hold a board meeting later this week to decide whether to sack Julen Lopetegui, sources have told ESPN.

Other new arrivals, including EFL Player of the Year Crysencio Summerville, have also failed to find their form under Lopetegui's leadership. These performance issues have only added to the pressure on the manager and raised questions about his future with West Ham United.
