West Ham manager David Moyes admitted his side had a bid for Kalvin Phillips turned down in January - one larger than the £45million he was sold to Manchester City for. The former Whites midfielder was officially confirmed as a City player on Monday after they agreed an initial fee of £42million plus £3million potential add-ons.
The Whites reportedly had offers higher than that of the Premier League champions - including a late approach from Paris Saint-Germain - but were pushed towards Pep Guardiola’s side after Phillips made it clear he only wanted to move to the Etihad.
The 26-year-old was linked with a move to West Ham both this summer and back in January, and now Hammers boss Moyes has confirmed that the London club ‘bid more’ than the £45million from City during the January window, but saw their offers turned down by Leeds.
