West Ham are keeping an eye on Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana, according to a report from the Telegraph.
The Liverpool midfielder is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the season, so will be free to leave the club on a free transfer.
Lallana is also wanted by Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, with no extension on the midfielder’s current deal at Liverpool expected.
However, the main suitors for the midfielder seem to be Leicester City, with manager Brendan Rodgers having previously worked with the player at Liverpool.
The Foxes also seem poised to secure Champions League football, which again, may be attractive to the midfielder.
Read West Ham’s verdict
In comparison to the other teams seemingly interested in Lallana, West Ham are probably in the worst position to land him. The Hammers sit in the relegation zone of the Premier League, so could potentially be playing Championship football next season.
Therefore, if the Hammers do go down, they will surely not be in with a chance of signing Lallana.
However, if they stay up, West Ham could potentially be in a position to offer Lallana the most first-team football.
Lallana would surely be a first-team starter at West Ham, especially considering his impressive record of 30 goals and 28 assists in over 190 Premier League appearances.
He may have struggled with a lot of injuries with his time at Liverpool, which could be concerning considering what has happened to Jack Wilshere since he signed for West Ham.
However, if the Hammers are able to land Lallana, then he could be a very shrewd signing, if he shows that he can stay fit between now and the summer.
