WEST HAM, MAN CITY AGREE LOAN DEAL FOR PHILLIPS
Read Time:56 Second
West Ham have reached an agreement with Manchester City to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan.
Phillips has made just 31 appearances for City since a £45m transfer from Leeds in July 2022 and Pep Guardiola admitted in December he cannot envisage the England midfielder in his team.
The 28-year-old now looks set to leave the Etihad on a temporary basis although there is an option to join the Hammers permanently.
Phillips was flying back on Tuesday from Manchester City’s warm-weather training camp in Abu Dhabi with the rest of the squad and a medical is expected to take place this week.
Crystal Palace and Newcastle also made contact with City about a deal this month, while Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus were also understood to be interested.
Phillips has not managed a single start in the Premier League this season having started just twice last term.
Guardiola revealed before the window that he cannot find a place in his side for the 28-year-old, who has made four league appearances this season, saying: “I visualise the team and I struggle to see him.”
