West Ham face a fight to keep hold of left-back Herita Ilunga as he is reportedly wanted by Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
The Congolese defender is on a season-long loan at Upton Park from French club Toulouse with a view to a possible permanent move for £3million in the summer, but it is claimed the Reds are looking to see if they can hijack the deal.
Liverpool are said to be looking into the possibility of signing the defender from under the nose of Gianfranco Zola as a replacement for £7m summer signing Andrea Dossena.
The former Udinese left-back has been a disappointment and could return to Italy during the next transfer window.
