He joined West Ham United in the January transfer window, and the club will decide on his future in the summer.The £150k-per-week star may not play for West Ham come season-to-season.
West Ham United signed Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City during the January transfer window after an unsuccessful spell at the Etihad Stadium, and journalist Ben Jacobs has now told GIVEMESPORT that the Hammers will need to determine whether there’s a deal to be done for the England international at value.
It’s been a tricky few years for Phillips after he opted to leave his boyhood club Leeds United and join Pep Guardiola’s Man City side. When competing with Rodri for a starting spot, it was always going to be difficult for the Yorkshire-born midfielder to play regularly at the Etihad.
After struggling for minutes, Phillips joined West Ham on loan in the January window, but the move hasn’t gone as he would have hoped. David Moyes has been reluctant to guarantee him a starting role, while some of his performances have left a lot to be desired. The 28-year-old also failed to make Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad, which emphasises his poor form so far this season.
West Ham Have Decision to Make on Phillips
According to Sky Sports, West Ham will cover Phillip’s salary for the duration of his time at the London Stadium, while the Hammers also don’t have the option to make a deal permanent. The England international is believed to be earning £150k-a-week – a hefty wage for a player who isn’t a guaranteed starter under Moyes.
