West Ham United could be in danger of losing one of their most impressive recent appointments.

The Hammers are bracing for an approach from Liverpool to try and sign their highly-rated sporting director Tim Steidten.

The Premier League leaders are serious about securing a new sporting director after Jorg Schmadtke departs in the coming days.

The German is set to end his short term stay at the club, given manager Jurgen Klopp is also leaving in the summer.

Per The Mail, West Ham's Steidten has emerged as the favorite for the job.

Another name who is on the list of Liverpool's owners - FSG - is Bournemouth's Richard Hughes.
