Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is attracting significant interest from a number of Premier League clubs this summer, according to reports.
Lallana, who joined the Reds from Southampton in 2014, is set to leave the club for free when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The 31-year-old has established himself as a valuable member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad but there has been no sign of his current deal being extended.
With Lallana keen on securing more first-team action and an Anfield exit looking increasingly likely, The Times reports that Leicester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham are among the clubs keeping tabs on the veteran playmaker.

According to the publication, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is particularly keen on a reunion with the England midfielder and is currently leading the chase.
Rodgers knows Lallana well after signing him during his time in charge of Liverpool and is likely to be able to offer the former Southampton star Champions League football, with Leicester currently third in the table.
Although he is free to enter negotiations with clubs outside of England, the former Southampton man cannot hold talks with Premier League clubs until the end of the season.
That means that he could sign a pre-contract agreement with a European club before the end of the campaign.

The midfielder is also known to have a close relationship with Mauricio Pochettino and it is believed that a reunion with the Argentine could also be a possibility, depending on the former Tottenham manager’s next club.
Lallana has made 19 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season and has played an important part in the club’s stunning Premier League campaign.
The Reds are currently 22 points clear at the top of the table and just six wins away from securing a first league title in 30 years.
The playmaker, who also featured heavily in the Club World Cup success, is also expected to see his role increase further once Klopp’s side return to Champions League action against Atletico Madrid on February 18.
