West Ham United technical director Tim Steidten has told Sky Deutschland that he’s aware of the reports linking him to Liverpool.
The Reds are currently without a sporting director, following Jorg Schmadtke’s decision to step down after the January window.
Steidten arrived at West Ham last summer and recent claims in the UK have explained that the German is the leading candidate to become the new director at Liverpool.
It was also said the Hammers are prepared for an approach from the Merseyside club. The 44-year-old is pleased with the reports linking him to Liverpool, but revealed they haven’t contacted him so far.
The former Werder Bremen sporting director has stated he’s pleased to be at West Ham, where he was in charge of the last two windows.
Steidten is focused on David Moyes’ side and has said that he’s already planning for next summer.
“I generally feel very comfortable at West Ham. I quickly realised how intense this league is. Accordingly, we signed the right players in the last transfer windows. The squad is strong, so we can achieve our goals,” Steidten explained.
“I’m looking forward to the next weeks and months until the end of the season. Of course, we are already planning the next window. What happens to the future, we will see.”
Liverpool not only have to appoint a sporting director but also look for a new manager after Jürgen Klopp announced that he’ll leave Anfield at the end of this season.
