Rafa Benitez leads West Ham's shortlist

Rafa Benitez is considered as the number one candidate to replace Sam Allardyce at West Ham United this summer.

Allardyce will move away from the East Londoners once his contract expires at the end of the season.

Slaven Bilic has been recently associated with the Hammers job, but The Mail claims that Napoli boss Rafa Benitez is the club's first choice to replace 'Big Sam' in the off-season.

West Ham United are currently tenth in the league standings.
