West Ham United are ready to make a £25 million bid for Liverpool centre forward Christian Benteke, according to The Express.
The Hammers are ready to have a big summer in the transfer market, with David Sullivan stating yesterday that the London club were ready to make a bid bid for a Premier League player.
The latest report suggests that the offer will be to the Reds, with Belgian powerhouse Benteke in Slaven Bilic’s sights.
Benteke was a scoring sensation at Aston Villa but has not been at his best since moving to Anfield for a mammoth £32.5 million last summer.
With rumblings that Jurgen Klopp is ready to offload the striker, West Ham are believed to be ready to snap him up for around £25 million.
The Hammers are keen to land a new number nine this summer before moving to the Olympic Stadium, with a host of impressive targets being linked in the press.
