Transfers wrap: Moyes silent on Phillips, Perisic moves

David Moyes has remained tight-lipped on West Ham's pursuit of Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

England international Phillips looks set to leave City this month, having not managed a single start in the Premier League all season.

The Hammers and Crystal Palace are interested in a loan deal for the 28-year-old, while Newcastle have also been linked with him.

But Moyes was giving nothing away when quizzed about Phillips on Friday afternoon.

"I wouldn't talk about players from other clubs," he said. "I think it's wrong to talk about players who are at other football clubs so I won't do that, no."

Mikel Arteta insists Emile Smith Rowe is settled at Arsenal amid reported interest from West Ham.

Smith Rowe has endured a frustrating time since he hit 10 goals in the 2021-22 campaign, with groin surgery restricting his role in the club's unsuccessful title challenge last season.

England international Smith Rowe has also struggled with a knee issue this term, but even when he has been fit the 23-year-old has been reduced to cameo appearances with only one Premier League start among 12 outings in all competitions.

West Ham have reportedly made an approach to sign Smith Rowe on loan but Arteta played down talk the academy graduate could leave this month ahead of Saturday's visit of Crystal Palace.

Arteta said: "I'm really happy with Emile. He's in the right trajectory.

"Now, he's settled, he's training really well and you know I'm not going to talk about individual situations.

"Emile is Emile. We know he's got incredible qualities and we're really happy to have him.

"What he needs now is chances to put all the desire and quality that he has on the pitch. In order to do that we have to give him minutes."
