Liverpool are set to undergo a major squad rebuild this summer under new manager Andoni Iraola, and the attack is understood to be one of the priority positions to strengthen.
The Reds have already completed a deal to bring in Spain winger Victor Munoz for around £35m, having hijacked Newcastle's move for the tricky forward at the 11th hour after they had already had a bid accepted.
Now the club are ready to try and do something similar once again but to Man Utd, as they eye up a £50m move to bring another forward in at Anfield ahead of the new season.
Liverpool Make Move to Hijack Man Utd Summerville Deal
Crysencio Summerville
According to a report by Caught Offside, Liverpool have made their move to find a deal with West Ham to sign winger Crysencio Summerville.
The Netherlands international, who has been described as 'elite', enjoyed a fine individual season for the Hammers but couldn't stop them from being relegated to the Championship. He then went to the World Cup and shone for the Netherlands, scoring twice before their elimination on penalties against Morocco, where he missed in the shootout.
His performances have attracted the attention of several top clubs in Europe and the Premier League, and Liverpool have now made a 'serious move' for his services.
Man Utd had made the 24-year-old their leading target as they look to bolster their forward line ahead of a campaign that includes Champions League football, but Liverpool are pushing to muscle their way into the race.
Mohamed Salah's departure, plus question marks around the future of Federico Chiesa, mean there are spots open in attack, and Summerville's pace, trickery and goal threat make him a top candidate for the role. West Ham are understood to value him at £50m, however, there is a belief he could be available for considerably less.
Liverpool have previously been pushing for Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola for the roles, but have faced big hurdles in the race for their signature. It now looks as though they are ready to move on to alternative targets as a result.

Iraola's arrival at Anfield was a surprise following Arne Slot's sacking, but he is ready to make a big statement by building the squad in his own image and challenge for a Premier League title.
Summerville's addition would not only be a major coup for the Anfield side, but it would also be a big blow to rivals Man Utd who are having a difficult window landing their top targets.
Liverpool are ready to go big in this window again, and Summerville could be the next man to arrive through the doors and help strengthen the squad ahead of what is a huge season.
