The Telegraph: West Ham's £50 million offer for Calvin Phillips was rejected by Leeds United

According to the Telegraph, West Ham offered Calvin Phillips for a record 50 million pound transfer fee, but Leeds United refused.

It is reported that the offer was made two weeks ago, but was immediately rejected by Leeds United, who currently have no intention of selling the England international in this transfer window.

Whether West Ham will make another offer again for Phillips in the summer window remains to be seen, but sources say West Ham cannot sign him in this transfer window.

At last year's European Championship, Phillips and Rice formed an impressive combination of England's backs, and West Ham also hopes to allow the two players to continue to be paired at the club. Also taking into account the interest of other teams in Rice, the move to sign Phillips is also looking for a replacement for Rice.

Calvin Phillips, 26, is suffering from a hamstring injury and is not expected to play until March. The player has made 15 appearances for Leeds United this season, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist, and the player's current contract expires in June 2024 and is worth 40 million euros.
