Kalvin Philips Joins West Ham On Loan From Manchester City

West Ham United has completed the signing of England midfielder, Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City until the end of the season.

Phillips has made 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 leaves the Etihad on a temporary basis and there is no option for West Ham to sign him permanently in the summer.

West Ham will pay a loan fee and cover Phillips’ salary for the duration of his time at the London Stadium.

“I’m really pleased to be here,” said Phillips after his signing was confirmed.

“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.”

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.”
