West Ham in battle to hold Lanzini

West Ham have a battle on their hands to keep hold of Manuel Lanzini.

According to a report in the Daily Star Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs are all showing interest in the midfielder.

Lanzini has been one of the few success stories of the season and is a player that Slaven Bilic is desperate to hold on to as he attempts to put a team on the park that matches the club’s new surroundings in Stratford.

West Ham paid Al-Jazira £9.5m to sign the midfielder at the start of the season and have been rewarded with some outstanding performances and eight priceless Premier League goals.

That sort of form has been noticed elsewhere with three Champions League hopefuls ready to test West Ham’s resolve over building a new team.

Bilic has funds to bring in fresh faces but if an offer comes in around the £25m mark it may be difficult for the West Ham board to reject a £15m profit on the 24-year-old Argentinian.
