The ex-Chelsea star is one the Premier League's most consistent players and an England regular under Gareth Southgate.His impressive performances for club and country have seen him attract interest from several of the game's elite, including his former club Chelsea and Manchester United.

West Ham are set to make a sensational swoop for Kalvin Phillips, who they see as the ideal partner for Declan Rice.The Hammers intend for the Leeds maestro to team up with Rice, in a move that would shock both sets of fans.They set to make a record-breaking £50 million bid to team up Kalvin Phillips with his England teammate Declan Rice, according to The Sun.It would be an offer from entirely out the blue - and one that, if it came off, would certainly appease a large majority of West Ham fans.An offer has already been sent, according to reporters, but David Moyes side are prepared to wait until the summer to get their man.Phillips has been out of action for Leeds, currently recovering from a hamstring operation. But this has not deterred West Ham from making such an incredible move.Moyes is a huge fan of the 26-year-old and sees him as a great signing to push up the table into that top-four spot.If the move materialises, the Irons will have one of the best central midfield pairings in the Premier League.Marcelo Bielsa, who developed Phillips to the player he is today with thorough fitness training, will not want to lose one of his key assets.But while West Ham are in the ascendancy, Leeds are in a relegation battle, their loss to Newcastle last week exacerbating the situation further.Rice has been heavily linked with moves away from the London Stadium, with Chelsea being considered the frontrunners before - while more recently, Manchester United have been on his tail.Can you see this transfer coming off?

Barcelona were rubbish – they got a last minute equaliser for a 1-1 draw – and there’s a thunderstorm and torrential rain."I couldn’t believe how bad the stadium was.

Gary Neville has become one of the most recognisable faces and voices in football punditry and commentary.Whether it is in the studios, the gantry, or pitch-side, the former Manchester United captain has become known for his cutting-edge analysis and razor sharp opinions.His on camera debates and disagreements with the likes of former Liverpool stars Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness, as well as his ex-United team mate Roy Keane, often attracting more headlines than the very games they were analysing.However, as is often the case in opinion driven careers, Neville’s views do sometimes cut against the grain of Premier League supporters.And the former right-back issued an amusing response when the hashtag ‘GaryNevilleIsAT*****’ started trending on Twitter.“I know that” Neville bluntly responded to the social media masses.While Neville’s opinions on events on the football pitch are often met with fierce debate from his in-studio colleagues and supporters, his voice is also beginning to echo in matters outside of football.
