West Ham ready to make £65m deal with Liverpool | OneFootball

West Ham want Elliott and Morton

Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton, too, could be offloaded in order to make space in the budget as well as on the wage bill.

Elliott, 22, took a starring role in England’s UEFA European Under-21 Championship win earlier this summer. Under contract until 2027 it has been suggested that the playmaker could earn the club up to £50m in the transfer market.

Tyler Morton, another England U21 star, has been heavily linked with the exit over the last few windows and could go for around £15m in the event he’s sold.

One club now ready to take the plunge on the England pair are West Ham United.

West Ham to ramp up summer business

Flush with cash from selling Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham, the Hammers need creativity as well as midfield backbone.

They are looking towards Anfield for their potential recruits according to the Guardian with another source claiming bids for the Reds’ duo will be stepped up this week.

“West Ham are looking to ramp up their summer rebuild with an ambitious move for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott,” the Guardian report states.

“West Ham, who are also considering the Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton, will also look further afield for signings.”

Liverpool could earn £50m on Elliott and £15m on Morton

Elliott only started two Premier League matches last season and will struggle for minutes in the upcoming campaign due to Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz ahead of him.

It was expected to be a big season for Morton too but he ended up on the transfer list rather than in Arne Slot’s plans - and also suffered a season-ending injury before the end of the campaign.

“Tyler Morton and Harvey Elliott are also likely to have interest stepped up this week,” says ExWHUEmployee.
