WEST Ham are reportedly going head-to-head with Liverpool and Spurs to land Swiss international midfielder Valon Behrami.

The Irons were linked with a move for the Lazio star in January and could follow up their interest this summer.

And, according to his agent, Behrami is set to use the Webster clause to buy out his contract at Stadio Olimpico.

That would see the 23-year-old playing in Euro 2008 as a free agent as he looks for a new club.

"Behrami will play Euro 2008 as a free player because he will buy-out his contract," Behrami's representative Alessandro Beltrami told Setanta Sports.

"Do you know what the Webster clause is? Well, he will use it."

However, the Hammers could miss out on the star as he apparently wants to play Champions League football next season.

"Lazio wanted £9 million for him and we had contacts, but now he will be able to decide where he goes and he wants to play the Champions League," added Beltrami.

"We will not contact clubs - believe me, they are going to call us."
