Former Arsenal centre-back Thomas Vermaelen is a target for West Ham and Liverpool according to the Daily Mirror.
Vermalen, now with Barcelona, will be allowed to leave the La Liga side this summer according to reports in Spain.
The Belgium international has struggled for game time since moving to the Nou Camp in August 2014, making just 21 appearances in his two seasons in Spain.
After the departure of Marc Bartra to Borussia Dortmund, Vermaelen could be the next defender to leave Barcelona, with the Mirror claiming that West Ham and Liverpool are both keen on the former Arsenal man.
