West Ham want Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic
The Serbia international is currently on loan at relegation battlers Hull, where he's said to have impressed West Ham boss Slaven Bilic.
And according to The Sun, Bilic has already made contact with Liverpool over Markovic's availability this summer.
The Reds have reportedly slapped a £16million price tag on the 23-year-old, who they spent £20m on in the summer of 2014.

Markovic has been sent out on loan three times since his Anfield move but recently admitted he hopes to have a future at Liverpool.
“It’s been two or three years since I came to Liverpool,” he told Sky Sports last month.
“I’m more mature and I have more experience and that is going to play quite a big role in my development.

“I see it differently from the coach [his future at Liverpool].
“I am still a Liverpool player. We will have talks in the summer and see how it goes from there.
“It does suit the style of Liverpool, the supporters seem to like it and the players seem to enjoy it so it’s good all round."
