West Ham have bolstered their midfield by signing Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips on loan for the rest of the season and they could raise funds for further signings by selling Pablo Fornals to Real Betis.
Fornals is out of contract at the end of the season and Betis, who have also considered a loan, intend to bid after completing the sale of Luiz Henrique to Botafogo. A return to Spain would suit the midfielder and a sale for a player who joined from Villarreal for £24m in 2019 would be a boost for West Ham as they look to freshen up their squad.
