West Ham have reportedly, per The Mirror, placed a £30 million price tag on star Manuel Lanzini, in order to fend off interest from the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool.

Since arriving from Al Jazira, who hail from the United Arab Emirates, Lanzini has established himself as one of the most influential players in the Hammers’ squad and has stepped up, particularly after the departure of Dimitri Payet in January.

With speculation currently doing the rounds about Phillipe Coutinho, Liverpool have reportedly become interested.

It remains to be seen what will happen during the summer. However, there is a good chance that Lanzini may be tempted by a move to either Tottenham or Arsenal. Though the Hammers may offer a new deal, they may not be able to afford the Argentina international a salary of more than £100 000 a week, as could Spurs or the Gunners. In addition, the prospect of European football may also be appealing.
