That news will come as a huge concern for West Ham fans, with the Hammers thought to be keen to appoint the 30-year-old in place of David Moyes in the summer (Foot Mercato).

Still has been described as an ‘unbelievable’ young manager who is taking Europe by storm.

So missing out on him to Spurs would be a massive blow for the Hammers…

West Ham managerial target Will Still meets with Tottenham chief

Sport Italia claim that the 30-year-old self-confessed Hammers fan met with Tottenham Director of football Fabio Paratici out in Switzerland over the last couple of days.

Still led Reims to an unbelievable 18-game unbeaten Ligue 1 run. Unfortunately for him though, that run was ended by Marseille last month.

The Belgian-born manager is a West Ham fan and he really does seem like the ideal appointment for us.

Still is incredibly intense with his approach to training sessions and that translates out onto the pitch.

The 30-year-old likes to implement a 4-2-3-1 system. He is very flexible and likes his team to build up from the back although he’s not averse to playing a counter attacking style either.

Still’s exploits with Reims have been described as ‘unbelievable’ by the Mirror.

Alongside Vincent Kompany, the 30-year-old should be right at the very top of the Hammers’ wish-list this summer in my opinion.

However, West Ham may face a real battle for Will Still, with Tottenham reportedly holding meetings with the Reims boss already.
