A recently released report has unveiled that David Moyes has been interested in signing Kalvin Phillips since as far back as May 2018. It looks as though Phillips’ challenging time at the Etihad Stadium is about to conclude, at least temporarily. Reports suggest that the 28-year-old is set to undergo his medical examination on Wednesday as he prepares to join David Moyes’ West Ham side on loan.

Back in August, it was reported that Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff were taken aback by Kalvin Phillips’ performance in training to the extent that they were concerned that the Englishman might never fully comprehend the tactical side of things at Manchester City. It has indeed been the case as time has passed.

Furthermore, the report suggests that David Moyes had his sights set on signing Kalvin Phillips even when he was without a job between May 2018 and December 2019. As Moyes was preparing for his next managerial role, he was already targeting prospective players and Phillips happened to be one of the players he had intended to sign.

As Kalvin Phillips seems poised to join West Ham on loan, it appears that he could greatly benefit from David Moyes’ admiration for his game. It is undoubted that the former Leeds United midfielder was on the fringes at Manchester City, to say the least, and his confidence would likely have been affected despite his established status as a midfielder. However, at the London Stadium, it is quite evident that David Moyes must have a plan in place for him in his squad, which could result in a positive impact on his performances and career trajectory.

In conclusion, the interest in Phillps from Moyes has spanned nearly six years, and it seems that this move to West Ham is one that could greatly benefit both player and manager alike.
