According to Bleacher Report, Tottenham are among the clubs interested in signing Lanzini from Premier League rivals West Ham in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Tottenham have sounded out representatives to keep tabs on Lanzini’s situation.
Spurs’ North London rivals Arsenal and Merseyside outfit Liverpool are also claimed to be interested in the 24-year-old attacking midfielder.
Liverpool are reportedly looking at the Argentina international as a potential replacement for Philippe Coutinho, who is claimed to be on the radar of Spanish and European giants Barcelona.
“Liverpool were always keeping tabs on his situation, and it is understood both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have sounded out representatives to discover how Lanzini’s situation may open up,” states the report in Bleacher Report. “The player is happy to stay at West Ham but is aware other clubs have been watching him.”

The 24-year-old Argentina international scored eight goals and provided two assists in 31 league starts for the Hammers last season.
