# Everton identify West Ham star to add creativity

Everton are the latest team to express an interest in signing West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini this summer.

The [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-west-ham-manuel-lanzini-10429327) report that the Argentinian is a target for a host of clubs including Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Everton face the prospect of selling Ross Barkley this summer and Lanzini could be seen as a replacement for the England international, who is running out of time to put pen to paper on a new contract at Goodison Park.

Lanzini has played a starring role for the Hammers during the second half of the season following the departure of Dimitri Payet to Marseille.

The 24-year-old has netted eight Premier League goals this season and has also registered two assists for the Hammers, in what has been a difficult season for them.

The Hammers value the young midfielder at around £30 million and Everton could also consider a move for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who they see as a cheaper alternative.
