Kalvin Phillips recently completed a loan move to West Ham United and has already left a positive impression on one of his new teammates. This transfer occurred after Phillips struggled to secure playing time at the Etihad Stadium, leading to his decision to join the Hammers on a loan deal until the end of the season. West Ham reportedly have the opportunity to purchase him in the summer for around £34 million.

Phillips’ playing time at Manchester City was limited, even when there were opportunities for him to step onto the field, such as when Rodri was suspended. Despite this, Pep Guardiola was reluctant to use the former Leeds United man, leading to his departure from the club. However, West Ham managed to win the race for his signature against several other teams.

It’s a huge opportunity for Phillips, and it’s clear that he’s already making a positive impression amongst his new teammates. In particular, West Ham’s David Moyes praised the player for how he’s come across so far. He said, “I heard Pep Guardiola’s comments about how good of a lad he is and, while he’s only been here for a week, I would completely agree based on what I’ve seen of him.”

Danny Ings, another West Ham player, has also been very complimentary about Phillips. He described him as a great guy and a very good player, emphasizing that Phillips could be a very important player for the squad. Ings also highlighted Phillips’ great vision and unbelievable passing range, praising him as a “huge” addition to the team.

Moreover, John Stones, Phillips’ former teammate at Manchester City, expressed his admiration for Phillips’ range of passing and positioning on the pitch, emphasizing that some of the passes Phillips plays are “outrageous.”

Considering these testimonials, it is evident that Phillips possesses exceptional passing abilities, and his new club, West Ham, will be looking forward to witnessing his skills in action. It is hoped that Phillips will feature regularly and make a significant impact for West Ham in the second half of the season, potentially earning a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024.
