West Ham United have kept moving after sealing a deal for Morocco international Nayef Aguerd with news emerging on Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips.
The Lowdown: Irons set for busy summer...
According to Sky Sports and reporter Dharmesh Sheth, the east Londoners could be set for a 'very busy' summer as manager David Moyes allegedly sets his sights on 'at least' six new signings before starting the 2022/2023 Premier League season.
This comes after the arrival of Aguerd from Rennes with West Ham seemingly determined to strengthen and back Moyes this summer.
The Hammers narrowly missed out on qualification for the Europa League at the end of 21/22, falling just short of Man United on the final day, with Moyes meaning business this time round.
The Latest: Phillips bid made...
Now, as per Football Insider, it appears West Ham have made another offer as news emerges on Leeds star Phillips.

The England international, heavily courted by league champions Man City, is also attracting Moyes' interest with the report claiming both Villa and West Ham 'submitted bids'.
However, as per their information, Phillips is still highly likely to make a switch to the Etihad Stadium and Moyes looks 'set to miss out'.
The Verdict: Ambitious move...
While it is unlikely they can capture Leeds' star with City in the picture, this alleged offer perhaps sums up the ambition being displayed at the London Stadium.
The marquee England star, said to be valued at around £50 million, has performed brilliantly when fit and available for the Whites.
Teammate Liam Cooper even called him one of the best midfielders in world football last year and ex-Leeds star Andrew Hughes also branding Phillips a 'very special' player (The Athletic).
His comparisons to Andrea Pirlo have been well documented and this is the level of player West Ham should be moving for.
