Liverpool are stepping up interest in West Ham captain Declan Rice.

In need of a midfield addition, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has backed a move for England international Rice.

Football Insider says Liverpool will push to sign Rice in 2023 after he rejected an attempt over the summer.

The Reds offered a package worth £200,000-a-week - which Rice resisted to stick with the Irons.

Liverpool plan to try again amid West Ham attempts to secure Rice to a new deal. His current contract runs to 2024.
