Arsenal & Liverpool Boost In Chase For PL Rival Brute – reports

Arsenal and Liverpool have been handed a boost in their chase for West Ham United defender Winston Reid, after it was revealed that the east London club are not willing to increase their contract offer to the New Zealand international, as reported by the Daily Express.

Reid’s contract with the Hammers is set to expire at the end of the current season, and there is significant interest in him from elsewhere in the Premier League.

Arsenal and Liverpool are two of several teams who hold an interest in him, with Manchester United also thought to be somewhat keen on the star.

However, reports last week suggested that Liverpool would be Reid’s preferred destination.

A move for Reid could be a possibility in January, although West Ham are insistent that they will not lose the player for cheap, whether he signs a new deal or not.

Reid will also have to accept the current contract offer, as the Hammers see it as exceptionally competitive, without any room for revisions.

Liverpool In Hunt For Man Utd Targeted PL Rival Star – reports

Liverpool have joined the race for West Ham defender Winston Reid’s signature, threatening to do battle with rivals Manchester United for his signature as a result, as reported by the Daily Express.

Reid has emerged as one of the more solid defenders in the Premier League, but has only one year left to run on his current deal, meaning that he can depart the east London club on a free transfer next summer.

That has alerted Man Utd to his availability, with the Old Trafford club believed to be interested in his signature.

However, reports now suggest that Liverpool are also interested in the player, and are tracking the player with the potential of signing him in the summer for nothing.

This has caused a significant dilemma for West Ham.

They could either sell him for a cut price fee in January to a Premier League rival, or see him depart for nothing next summer, assuming he does not agree a new deal.

Man Utd To Make Shock January Bid For PL Rival Star – reports

Manchester United are said to be tracking West Ham United star Winston Reid ahead of a possible move for the New Zealand international defender in January, as reported by the Metro.

The Old Trafford club’s defence has emerged as a significant problem since the start of the new season, which has seen Man Utd put together indifferent form since the campaign kicked off.

Despite pre season positivity surrounding the appointment of former Bayern Munich and Barcelona boss Louis van Gaal, the Dutch boss has led the club to only two competitive wins.

They have also suffered humiliating losses against MK Dons and Leicester City, losing 4-0 and 5-3 respectively.

There are now suggestions that Man Utd see Reid as an ideal option in defence, although a January move might be delayed in favour of signing him as a free agent when his contract expires next summer.

Reid has emerged as a consistent defender since joining West Ham in 2010.
