West Ham Snap Kalvin Phillips On Loan From Man City

Phillips has been unable to force his way into Pep Guardiola's system at the Etihad Stadium ever since he made a £45m switch from Leeds United in the summer of 2022.

The 28-year-old has only made 16 appearances in the Premier League since joining Manchester City, with 14 of those coming as a substitute.

There is no option for West Ham to make the deal permanent when the season ends.

“I’m really pleased to be here,” Phillips said in a statement. 

“There’s always been a lot of speculation about me moving to West Ham, so I’m really excited to get going now.

“There’s so much to look forward to in the second half of the season for the club and I can’t wait to be part of it.

“There’s an unbelievable group here and if I can come in and add the quality that I know I’m capable of, I’m sure we can give the West Ham fans plenty to be excited about between now and the end of the season."

West Ham manager David Moyes added: “We are really pleased to bring a player of Kalvin’s quality to West Ham United.”

“We’ve been big admirers of him for a long time and we believe that he will add strength and competition to our squad.

“Kalvin is an England international midfielder, with proven Premier League experience. We’re excited to welcome him into the group and look forward to working with him.”
