Manchester City bench resource Kalvin Phillips is close to signing for West Ham United on loan.

 

Fabrizio Romano, a reporter specializing in the transfer market, said on his SNS on the 23rd , "Philips is getting closer and closer to going to West Ham. As reported yesterday, negotiations are making progress. New negotiations will take place soon as the sentiment towards West Ham remains positive."

 

Phillips made his name for Leeds United. He played as a key midfielder under Marcelo Bielsa. In the 2019/20 season, Phillips contributed to Leeds' promotion to the EPL by scoring two goals and having two assists in 40 official matches. In the 2020/21 season, he added one goal and three assists in 31 matches to put Leeds in ninth place in the EPL.

 

Phillips, who has been recognized for his performance at Leeds, was called by manager Gareth Southgate during Euro 2020. Phillips made an appearance in all seven matches at the event. Thanks to Declan Rice and Phillips, who boasted impressive teamwork, the English team made it to the final.

 

Philips joined Manchester City for 49 million euros (71.3 billion Korean won) in the summer of 2022. That was when his career started to falter. Phillips was completely behind Rodri in competition to become a starting member of the team, and had only 21 games last season. He failed to control his weight, which caught the eye of Pep Guardiola.  토토사이트

 

Things haven't changed this season, either. Phillips has only one goal in 10 games in the 2023/24 season. When things are tough, Phillips is trying to leave Manchester City. Romano announced on the 16th that despite Pep Guardiola's words, Phillips will leave Manchester City in January next year.

 

In addition to West Ham, Philips has been linked with Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. West Ham are currently leading the league. West Ham are seeking to buy Philips on loan. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona, which had been mentioned as the next destination for Philips, is reportedly not pushing to buy him.
