For the first time since he announced he would be staying on in charge of Newcastle United, Rafa Benitez was touted as a potential target for a Premier League side. 

Reports from the Daily Telegraph suggested West Ham United have the Spaniard on any shortlist should they eventually sack Slaven Bilic after a shocking start to their first campaign at the London Stadium.

Still, nothing about the former Liverpool and Real Madrid coach’s work so far on Tyneside suggests he’d jump ship so early on.

After being handed unprecedented control of how the club is run under Mike Ashley, the 56-year-old seems to be building something special at St. James’ Park, involving the city more within the club.

In fact, he recently went on a sightseeing tour of the North East to further try and embed himself into the culture as he embarks on a long-term project for the black and white army.

So, it would surely take something special to tempt him away already, far more special than simply moving to a team such as West Ham.

Come on, seriously, does this look like a man who’s about to join West Ham?!
