talkSPORT presenter Jim White has claims he knows the reasons why the Hammers failed to clinch deadline days transfers.

White is known to be closer to David Sullivan than most media folk and often gets the inside track on  West Ham news

However, today he claimed that the Hammers deal/s  had broken down late and that he had received a message from an agent explaining why. They had involved  Kalvin Philips and/or Darwin Nunez.

White is very well contacted and his story rings many bells for those of us who are involved in news getting around transfer deals.

He alleged that the text message he had received made it clear that too many people were involved in  the late deals ‘

That would see individuals looking for their cuts and pushing the fee way bey9ond agreed limits to those agreed.

White explained the situation on his show White and Jordan saying:”;  “An agent who was involved in all of that messaged me saying, I think this was Phillips or maybe Nunez – €45million euros plus 5million euros in add ons.”

A deal was in place for the other player, which I presume is Phillips €50million plus 10million euros in add ons, but there are too many agents involved, too many individuals involved and the whole thing got confused and didn’t happen.”
