Lanzini was a star performer for the Irons last term.

And his impressive form has reportedly caught the eye of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Italian website Tutto Mercato Web claim West Ham top brass have turned the Reds down.

The 24-year-old is under contract at the London Stadium until 2020 and they've got no interest in cashing in

West Ham are desperate to add quality to the ranks and edge up the Premier League table - and keeping Argentina international Lanzini is part of the plan.

Joe Hart, Marko Arnautovic, Pablo Zabaleta and Javier Hernandez have all signed for the east end club so far.

And with Dimitri Payet departing West Ham for Marseille in January, Lanzini has stepped up to become a key creative force in Slaven Bilic's team.

Liverpool are sniffing around with the club facing a battle to keep Philippe Coutinho this summer.

Barcelona are keen on the Brazilian and reports from Spain suggest they're getting close to sealing a deal.

And Lanzini could be a potential replacement for his fellow south American.

Argentina international Lanzini, 24, scored eight goals in 31 Premier League starts for West Ham last term.

He joined the club on a permanent deal worth around £10m 12 months ago after spending the previous campaign on loan from Al-Jazira.
