Manager Julen Lopetegui says he is "not listening" to speculation over his future at West Ham after a poor start to the season.

The Hammers go to Newcastle on Monday night. Lopetegui said, "We are ready for high demands. "In my opinion Newcastle are one of the most complex teams in the league. They have a lot of technical, physical and tactical quality. We have to be aware of that and be ready to compete, and that is what we are all working on.

Heavy defeats to Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest have cranked up the pressure on Lopetegui, who also saw his side crash out of the Carabao Cup 5-1 at the hands of Liverpool.

West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui says he is not engaging with external noise but instead is completely focused on getting the squad to improve. The Hammers are 14th in the Premier League, with 12 points from the Spaniard's first 11 games.

West Ham have three main names on their shortlist to replace Julen Lopetegui as the pressure continues to mount on the Hammers boss, TEAMtalk can reveal.

West Ham Unitedhave reportedly sounded out former Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic as a potential replacement for Julen Lopetegui.
