Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Nat Phillips could leave in January.
Phillips is a target for West Ham.
"I don't think about the AC Milan game, but I have to mention Nat Phillips," said the Reds boss.
"People often ask me which player made the biggest improvements under my leadership, and I say Robert Lewandowski.
"That's probably right, but not far off that is Nat Phillips, just in a completely different department.
"I remember when I saw Nat Phillips first. I spoke to him after the game and he's one of the smartest players I ever worked with
"I told him: 'You know you are not the easiest on the eye, eh?'
"But he improved in pretty much everything since, and he's not playing. Life is sometimes not fair and I can't blame him.
"We cannot keep him forever, that's clear. We needed him, just to be safe, for that half-year.
"We will see what happens in the window. He was fine doing it because he's a great guy.
"But his development is absolutely insane. You saw it last year, you would have said: 'Nat Phillips, oh my God, he plays in the last line?'
"People love him because of his heading but with his feet he is unbelievable.
"He's a late starter, but his development is unbelievable. I would sign him for any club except Liverpool because we have him."
