According to Italy24News, Everton and West Ham are keen to sign Lazio forward Joaquín Correa, who has also attracted Liverpool.

The Italian news outlet believe that Maurizio Sarri is on his way to Lazio, and wants five new signings.

As a result, Correa has been told he can go in order to raise the necessary funds.

Italy24News add that a €30 million (£26 million) bid has already been submitted for the 5-cap Argentina international.

It does not clarify who submitted it, although Lazio are considering the offer and are willing to negotiate.

In 38 appearances this season, Correa scored 11 goals and provided six assists, which is pretty good going.

However, if Everton or West Ham are to land the South American, they face a pretty big competitor for his signature.

Liverpool are keen, Jürgen Klopp has tracked him

A recent report from Il Messaggero claimed that Jürgen Klopp is also a fan of Correa.

The news outlet believe the German has followed the 26-year-old’s progress, and is very keen to bring him to Liverpool.

If that is true, it throws a real spanner in the works for Everton and West Ham.

If it came down to a choice between the three Premier League clubs, Liverpool can offer Correa Champions League football, and are also one of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Keep an eye on this saga, as it sounds like Sarri plans to ship him away from Lazio once he gets his feet under the table.
