West Ham warned over Raphinha move
As well as Kalvin Phillips, West Ham United made a bid to take Raphinha from Leeds in January. The Whites gave short shrift to the offer as they required both players in their battle to survive in the Premier League. However, both players could be targets for the Hammers again this summer, particularly if Leeds are unable to pull off an increasingly unlikely escape from relegation.
Carlton Palmer has warned the London side that if they lose Declan Rice, they may struggle to attract stars from elsewhere to join them. He told Give Me Sport : "West Ham are in that crossroads position, but it’s going to be a step up from Leeds, where Leeds are. But if they lose Declan Rice, then it’s going to be a problem for them to attract the top players to come to the football club."
