West Ham could target a double deal for Leeds duo Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to club insiders Claret and Hugh who claim that the Hammers’ chances of signing both players will hinge heavily on whether Leeds are playing Premier League or Championship football next season.
Report: West Ham eye bargain triple transfer swoop for Championship striker and PL duo
West Ham manager David Moyes has been linked with moves to sign the Leeds duo in the past, as covered right here on Hammers News.
The upcoming summer transfer window is expected to be an incredibly busy one at the London Stadium.
Moyes needs to strengthen pretty much every department of his Hammers squad and the two Leeds players would be superb additions.
It seems as though West Ham will try to prise both of them away from Elland Road in the summer…
West Ham eyeing double Leeds swoop in the summer transfer window
Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha are firmly on the Hammers’ radar ahead of the summer transfer window according to club insiders Claret and Hugh.
The Brazilian winger and the English central midfielder are both truly exceptional players and they would undoubtedly strengthen the current West Ham team beyond all recognition.
We have to say though, Moyes bringing both Leeds players to East London before the start of next season seems highly unlikely.
Leeds will allegedly demand around £60 million for Phillips, 26 (The Times) and £60 million for Raphinha, 25 (Give Me Sport).
Spending £120 million on those two players will be well beyond the realm of possibility for West Ham in our opinion.
Perhaps if Leeds get relegated they will have to lower both players’ price-tags. Even if that did happen, we just can’t see the Hammers signing Phillips AND Raphinha in the summer transfer window.
Perhaps West Ham could prise one of either Phillips or Raphinha away from Leeds before the start of next season though.
