A startling disclosure regarding West Ham’s possible interest in former Liverpool players Firmino and Jordan Henderson has been revealed by EXWHUEmployee. Both players are now employed by the Saudi Arabian team Al Ettifaq, but Henderson is said to be keen to go on. The former captain of Liverpool paid an estimated £13 million for his move to Saudi Arabia, and his weekly salary is said to have been close to £350,000.
Speaking on The West Ham Way Patreon, EXWHUEmployee provided information into conversations regarding possible interest in players seeking a move from Saudi Arabia. While there is no evidence of a connection between Henderson and Firmino, attention turns to other potential players. Former Celtic winger Jota stands out as a notable loan alternative. Since Jota was not registered by Al-Ittihad, several Premier League clubs have been made aware of his availability, therefore competition for his services is anticipated to be intense.
West Ham has also been made aware of another player in whom they had previously shown interest: Kalvin Philips, a midfielder for Manchester City. The England international, who has been connected to the team frequently, might be available on loan. Wage issues, however, may make closing the sale more difficult. Watch this space closely, as Kalvin Philips may come back into play for West Ham.
