The West Ham United ace has been linked with a summer move to Liverpool.
According to Argentinian media outlet Ole, West Ham star Manuel Lanzini remains a key summer transfer target for Liverpool, with Jürgen Klopp keen to add more guile to his attacking options.
The Reds sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in January, and they are still yet to replace the talented Brazilian.
Argentine publication Ole claim that Klopp sees Hammers Lanzini as the ideal replacement for the recently departed Coutinho, and will prioritise the signing of the 25-year-old in the summer.
The Argentina international joined West Ham on loan in the summer of 2015, before making his switch a permanent on the following year, and he has firmly established himself as a fan favourite at the London Stadium.
In 96 appearances for the Hammers, he has chalked up 18 goals and 15 assists, and he would surely improve upon those numbers further still if he moved to Anfield, what with the quality that would surround him.
West Ham fans will surely be concerned with reports linking one of their best players with an exit from the club, and the Hammers hierarchy will undoubtedly do everything within their power to keep hold of him.
Lanzini is valued at £15.7 million, according to Transfer Markt, but the east London outfit will surely demand a lot more than that, if they were to entertain the idea of selling their mercurial playmaker.
