The Premier League champions may present a challenge to the Reds as they look to strengthen over the winter.
Nayef Aguerd of West Ham could draw competition from Manchester City for Liverpool’s signature in January.
The Moroccan center-back, who last summer moved to the Hammers for £30 million from Rennes, is reportedly being watched by both clubs.
Aguerd was hurt during the preseason the previous year, but he performed well in the second half of the season and has looked well so far this year.
In a recent victory over Chelsea, the Moroccan center-back, a left-footer, scored before being sent for a reckless challenge.
The Sun reports that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp may recruit Aguerd after reshaping their midfield this summer. Liverpool will focus on strengthening their back line.
The champions are reportedly keeping an eye on the 27-year-old, who has three goals in 33 appearances for West Ham, as they don’t have as much of a need for defensive reinforcements as City.
30 times total for Morocco, Aguerd has one goal in his 30 appearances. He played with the Morocco team that created history by reaching the World Cup semifinals in December, despite missing their final two matches due to injury.
Together with his teammates from other countries, he gave blood over the weekend to assist those impacted by the earthquake in his country.
