West Ham is looking at potentially signing two Liverpool players this summer, with Graham Potter’s side already closing in on a signing also linked with the Reds.

Having won their first pre-season friendly of the summer against Preston on an emotional day at Deepdale, Arne Slot and his men will be stepping up their preparations for the 2025/26 season over the coming weeks, with the defense of their Premier League title in mind.

As well as the forthcoming tour to Asia, that may see Liverpool doing more business in the transfer window, with the focus likely to be on outgoings next.

West Ham eye move for Liverpool’s Elliott and close on Slavia Prague’s Diouf	West Ham United to target two Liverpool midfielders next	£30m Liverpool player is already playing catch-up this summer as he begins to run out of chances - opinion

The likes of Darwin Nunez - who paid a fitting tribute to Diogo Jota after scoring on Sunday - and Federico Chiesa have been linked with exits, while others could be on the move, including Harvey Elliott.

The 22-year-old wasn’t in action at the weekend, having been given more time to recover after playing a starring role in England’s triumph at the European U21 Championship.

His heroics with the Young Lions have seen speculation grow over his future, with Elliott himself having admitted he may need to look elsewhere if he’s to get regular playing time.

Now, according to The Guardian, West Ham is looking at Elliott as it ramps up its summer rebuild, having had its budget boosted by the sale of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham.

Harvey Elliott has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer.

The Ghanian’s departure leaves a gap in the attacking midfield role, with Elliott said to have been identified as a key target to fill.

The Hammers are yet to submit a bid, but preparations are underway for a move, with the London club optimistic that a deal will be possible

Elliott has also been linked with RB Leipzig, with the midfielder aware this could be a pivotal summer for him.

"It's just a situation that me and the team have to have a conversation about because I'm coming into an age now where I'm 22, I'm going to be 23 next season," Elliott said last month.

"I don't really want to be wasting years on my career because it's a short career

But most importantly, it's just about what's best for my career."

West Ham’s plot to sign Elliott comes as it closes in on the signing of Slavia Prague left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf, with a deal worth an initial $30 million said to be almost complete, with $6.7M in potential add-ons.

Diouf was briefly linked with Liverpool earlier this year, although with the Reds now having signed Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, their left-back needs look to be catered for.

Elliott isn’t the only Liverpool player being eyed up by West Ham either, with Tyler Morton also said to be considered
