Liverpool winger Ben Doak is “attracting major interest” from West Ham and Wolves, according to journalist David Lynch.
The Scotland international was the subject of bids from Ipswich and Crystal Palace in January, and he could be allowed to leave Anfield this summer.
Lynch claims that offers of around £20m have been “rejected” in the past and it remains to be seen whether the Hammers are willing to pay even that much for Doak.

The 19-year-old caught the eye during a loan spell at Middlesbrough last season, although a hamstring injury meant his time at the Riverside Stadium ended on the treatment table.
Doak has also impressed in pre-season for the Reds, catching the eye against Athletic Bilbao during a 4-1 win on Monday.
West Ham have targeted several other Liverpool players
A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that the Irons had held formal talks about signing Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton.
Neither player is expected to make the move to the London Stadium, with Elliott’s price tag deemed too high, while Morton looks set to make the switch to French side Lyon.
Joe Gomez has also been linked with a transfer to West Ham in recent months, but the England international is currently out injured, and is unlikely to leave Liverpool before the transfer window closes.
Doak would be a suitable replacement for Kudus
The winger is right-footed, and while he has played most of his senior football as a traditional winger on the right, he could be deployed on the left flank as well.
Following the departure of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham, head coach Graham Potter only really has three out-and-out wingers in Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville and Luis Guilherme (with Maxwell Cornet expected to leave).
With Bowen and Guilherme both favouring the right-hand side, Doak could potentially provide competition for Summerville on the left.
