Guardian: West Ham United seeks to strengthen the lineup, with Liverpool players Elliott and Morton

 8:03am, 14 July 2025

The Guardian reported that West Ham United continues to seek to sign and strengthen the lineup, and Liverpool player Elliott is one of the important goals of West Ham United.

West Ham is planning to increase efforts to rebuild his lineup this summer, and is currently interested in introducing Liverpool's Elliott. West Ham United is about to sign Prague's Slavia left-back Haji Malik Diouf, who previously sold Kudus to Tottenham for £54.5 million, and they hope to further supplement the roster.

Kudus' departure makes room for West Ham to introduce an attacking midfielder, who has identified Elliot as the main target. The 22-year-old has performed well in England's U21 team's European Championship last month, scoring five goals in six matches. Due to the lack of regular starting opportunities at Liverpool, he has hinted that he might consider his future in the Reds.

West Ham has not submitted a offer for Elliott yet, and it is not clear how much Liverpool will price him. However, relevant transfer preparations are underway, and West Ham is optimistic about reaching a deal. Red Bull Leipzig is also considered interested in Elliott, the English player who can play multiple positions in the front line. Liverpool may think it is the right time to sell the player, but there is a clear sensitivity to their transfer plans after Jota's death.

Eliot can play both wings and middles. Last season, he made 18 appearances in the league, with only 2 starts.

West Ham is also considering Liverpool midfielder Morton, and they will also turn their signings to a wider range.
