West Ham have been named among the potential suitors for Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita.
The 26-year-old is believed to be free to leave the Premier League club at the end of the season after Jurgen Klopp ‘ordered’ the Guinean ace to find a new club.
That’s according to a report from Spanish outlet ElNacional, as cited by LFC Transfer Room on Twitter.

The report claims that the Hammers are in the mix to land the 44-cap ace in the summer as Liverpool prepare to cut ties with their man.
So far this season Keita has scored three times and registered one assist in 16 appearances across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £27million and under contract until 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing the Guinean for the mooted £25million fee would represent relative value for money in terms of ability.
However, despite possessing an abundance of quality, all too often the former RB Leipzig star has been unavailable for selection.
Irons’ boss David Moyes would likely be reticent to sanction a move for an injury-prone player and may instead seek alternative options.
