West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini insists the club can still achieve its aim of qualifying for European football despite the uncertainty over his future.
Pellegrini has found himself under increasing pressure at the London Stadium after a run of eight games without a win in all competitions and Sky Sports News understands David Moyes is being considered as a possible replacement for the Chilean.
The Hammers are now 17th in the Premier League, just three points above the relegation places, but Pellegrini believes he can still guide the club to European football.
"I came here to try to make a step with this club, to try to fight for a European spot. That is my mentality and we continue with that mentality," he said.
"Of course we had some very good moments last season, we finished the season very well with 10 points from 12, and we started this season very well, so you are always optimistic that you can improve.
"We are not winning in this moment, so we must try to recover our performance and always have a winning and ambitious mentality.
"With three points more, maybe we are in seventh position in the table. I hope that we are going to try to revert these results."
