Liverpool have entered the race to sign defender Winston Reid from West Ham.

The New Zealand international has less than a year left on his Hammers contract and his good form has attracted attention from Arsenal and Manchester United.

According to reports, Liverpool are now tracking Reid ahead of a potential free transfer move.

West Ham face a dilemma over the 26-year-old's future - sell him in January to one of their Premier League rivals or risk losing him for nothing at all next summer.

Reid joined the Hammers in 2010 from Danish side Midtjylland after impressing in the Superliga. He struggled for game time as the club were relegated from the Premier League but stuck around to help West Ham back up from the Championship.

The Kiwi won West Ham's player of the year award in 2013.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers remains on the lookout for a new centre-back despite the arrival of Dejan Lovren while Arsenal are in dire need of defensive reinforcements.

Manchester United are also in the market for a new defender but are keen on Borussia Dortmund enforcer Mats Hummels.
