The Argentine midfielder has scored five goals for West Ham this season.

West Ham star Lanzini 'honoured' by Liverpool link after super start to life in England

The midfielder has reportedly caught the eye of the Reds after impressing for the Hammers so far this season.

WEST HAM UNITED midfielder Manuel Lanzini has described reported interest from Liverpool as โ€œan absolute honourโ€.

The 22-year-old has been a revelation early in his season-long loan spell from Al Jazira, scoring five times in all competitions, including in the 3-0 victory at Anfield in August.

Rumours have circulated that Jurgen Klopp is considering a January swoop for Lanzini but West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan insisted earlier this month his club have โ€œan unbreakable optionโ€ on the player.

โ€œI heard the president say that the club wants me to stay. I am fine here,โ€ Lanzini told ESPN FC before yesterdayโ€™s 4-1 defeat to Spurs, in which he scored a late consolation.

Itโ€™s an absolute honour that a team like Liverpool has put an eye on me, but at [the] moment I am focused on the match against Tottenham. Itโ€™s a good team to play against.โ€
