No other top flight partnership matches or exceeds that combined total currently although if Phillips joins City and partners Rodri they could just surpass them.

Man City’s Rodri is valued is also valued at £72m, Liverpool’s Fabinho at £54m and Kalvin Phillips at £45m

Ruben Neves is priced at £36m with N’Golo Kante while Douglas Luiz is priced at £34m.

The Hammers pair true value in the right market could be around £150m perhaps as much at £200m.
