Liverpool have opened talks to try to beat Tottenham to a signing ahead of the summer transfer window.
Liverpool and Spurs have both been shopping in the same market over the last few years, as both sides are considered two of the biggest in the Premier League.
Heading into the summer transfer window, Liverpool might have the edge when it comes to convincing targets to join them over Spurs, considering they are likely to qualify for Champions League football.
Spurs, however, are fighting to even stay in the Premier League at the moment, and although they are one of the favourites to stay up, they're still not an attractive prospect at the moment.

According to reports in Italy, Liverpool have opened talks to sign Juventus goalkeeper Michel Di Gregorio ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Reds are in the market for a new goalkeeper later this year, with Allison Becker heavily linked with a departure.
Tottenham have also been linked with a move for Di Gregorio, who has been described as being 'among the best', but he is believed not to be keen on a move to Spurs.
With Liverpool now actively pursuing a deal for the Italian goalkeeper, Spurs have an even smaller chance of securing his signature this summer.
Interestingly, Juventus are keen on signing Allison from Liverpool, so there is a potential for a swap deal to take place.

As previously mentioned, it's going to be incredibly difficult for Tottenham to secure targets that they would have previously looked to sign.
Spurs are going to be without European football heading into the new season, while there's still a chance that they will be relegated from the Premier League.
You would usually see Tottenham battling with Liverpool for signings, but the Merseyside club, despite having a disappointing season, will likely trump them when going for the same player.
Spurs are going to be shopping in a different market this summer, regardless of whether they remain in the Premier League or not.
