Former West Ham midfielder Frank Lampard has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace this summer.
Lampard played almost 200 games for the Hammers before establishing himself as a Premier League legend at Chelsea.
Since he retired from playing, the Englishman has coached Derby County, Chelsea, Everton and now Coventry.
Lampard could soon manage one of West Ham’s London rivals in the Premier League if the latest reports are accurate.

Frank Lampard in frame for Crystal Palace job
Lampard’s reputation as a manager took a hit after he was sacked from both Chelsea and Everton within two years.
He then dropped to the Championship to replace Mark Robins at 17th-placed side Coventry City last season.
Lampard had an immediate impact at Coventry, leading them to the playoffs before they lost to Sunderland in the semi-finals.
Now, with two games remaining in the 2025/26 Championship campaign, the Sky Blues have already won the league.
Therefore, Lampard will be a Premier League manager again next season if he stays with Coventry.
However, according to TEAMtalk, the Chelsea icon is on Crystal Palace’s shortlist to replace Oliver Glasner.
Glasner has decided to take on a new challenge when his contract expires at the end of the 2025/26 season.
Lampard would undoubtedly have a better squad and a bigger budget at Palace, which might tempt him.
Either way, West Ham can expect to face their former player twice next season if they can avoid relegation.
