Liverpool and West Ham United face competition from Marseille if they move for Sassuolo striker Gregoire Defrel in January, his agent has said.
Defrel has scored six times in 17 Serie A games this season, reportedly attracting the attention of both Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and his Hammers counterpart Slaven Bilic.
The 25-year-old's agent, Giampiero Pocetta, told footmercato.net that Marseille -- who have ambitious plans under new owner Frank McCourt -- are also considering a move for Defrel.
He added that Sassuolo had "refused an offer of €30 million from China" in recent days.
