Potter is under increasing pressure after a string of poor results left the Hammers languishing near the bottom of the Premier League table, with fans voicing their frustration during recent matches. The board is understood to be exploring alternatives, and Parker has emerged as a name of interest.
The former England international, now in charge of Burnley, guided the Clarets to promotion from the Championship last season, enhancing his reputation as a manager capable of building competitive sides. However, with two years left on his contract at Turf Moor, any move would likely require significant compensation, which could prove a stumbling block.
West Ham are also believed to be weighing up other options, including out-of-work managers such as Slaven Bilic and Nuno Espírito Santo, who would not require a fee. Financial considerations could play a decisive role as the club looks for a swift solution to their ongoing struggles.
For now, Parker remains an outside contender, but his connection to West Ham — having played for the club between 2007 and 2011 — adds an extra layer of intrigue to the unfolding situation.
