Liverpool want to sell West Ham target Nat Phillips for £15m
Liverpool want to sell West Ham target Nat Phillips for £15million according to a recent report in The Athletic.
The Champions League club and Premier League title contenders are keen on selling the 24-year-old centre-back in January.
Due to his lack of game time, he is being shipped off, with the Hammers and Newcastle among the clubs keen on securing his services.
Great news
West Ham usually don’t tend to spend big in January but they may need to make an exception this time around.
Angelo Ogbonna suffered a season-ending ACL injury while Kurt Zouma is also a long-term injury absentee.
The likes of Craig Dawson and Issa Diop have struggled in their absence and the club desperately need to bring in a replacement.
At £15million, Phillips fits right into the Hammers’ budget and offers great value for his age.
He’s only going to get better at 24 and is still a few years away from peaking.
He also comes in highly recommended with Emile Heskey labelling him “phenomenal” in early 2021.
With a decent amount of Premier League games under his belt, we believe he’s an ideal fit for David Moyes and must be signed in January.
