West Ham turn attention to Kalvin Phillips after having loan rejected for ESR
West Ham hope to loan Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips after having a request for Emile Smith Rowe snubbed by Arsenal.
David Moyes' team are in the market for a midfielder with Lucas Paqueta out injured until March.
City are understood to be seeking a £7million loan fee for Phillips.
Phillips has only started two games all season and has made four cameos off the bench in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola admitted last month that he 'struggles to see' the 28-year-old in his team.
A move on loan could benefit Phillips as he seeks to shore up his place in Gareth Southgate's England team ahead of Euro 2024.
Meanwhile, Smith Rowe is keen to stay and fight for his place at Arsenal despite making just two starts all season.
Aston Villa, Newcastle, and West Ham have expressed interest in the Arsenal academy product.
West Ham have had some transfer market joy, managing to poach a fresh face from Germany for their backroom team.
Werder Bremen's Maximilian Hahn is to join the Hammers as head of technical scouting and analysis.
